Happy 3rd Blogversary to This Hoosier's Heritage!

On March 23, 2017, I started This Hoosier's Heritage to write stories about my family's history, and to share stories relating to genealogy and history in general.

And, it has turned out to be such a blessing in my life! I have had such interesting conversations with my cousins regarding the family stories that I have shared! Also, I have met new relatives through the blog. All of this would not have happened without This Hoosier's Heritage!

The genealogy blogging community that I have found is phenomenal! Everyone has been so encouraging and helpful! Between Twitter and FB, I have been a part of very informative discussions, like #AncestryHour and #GenChat.

And, last but not least, I have won I have won the "Willie Puckerbrush Award for a humorous poem in the 10th Annual Great Genealogy Poetry Challenge, hosted by Bill West (https://westinnewengland.blogspot.com/)! If you would like to read the winning entry, you can find it here.

Hope you have enjoyed reading my posts! If you know of other people that would be interested, please share and encourage them to follow!

Happy Blogversary to me!

Looking at my posts yesterday, I realized that This Hoosier's Heritage began three years ago on March 23, 2019. It seems hard to believe that I have been blogging here for that long!

Happy Blogversary to me! 🎂🎂🎂

What is ironic about catching this genealogy blogging anniversary a few days late is that I missed it because of a genealogy-related vacation! Lol

I had just gotten back from vacation, and was getting caught up back at work. Also, trying to sort out all the wonderful information that I had found in Illinois.

Looking forward, I hope to keep telling the stories of my ancestors. I enjoy learning their stories, but also want to share them with their descendants. I believe it is just as important to know where you came from, as it is to discovering your path in life.

This Hoosier girl is proud of her heritage, and excited to learn even more! Come follow me, to learn more about my ancestors, history and more!
