Seriously, Ardis. I like it that way. I’ve been typing so many ancestor names like that I often slip myself. You do have it with the usual spelling (and what appears on my birth certificate – long form) in the actual posting so it’s just fine – besides, it helps confuse the cyber-stalkers.

Wow, Ardis. That is simply amazing to look over the content that you’ve created. Some of this should be published in book form. Seriously. Especially your Latter-day Saint Lives.

Thanks to J. and D.E., and thank you, Ardis, for several years of good reading and good discussions.

Oh, Grant, &#%@!! — I remember the post you did on that, and even thought about it when I typed your name from memory … remembering the wrong way! Sorry. (You really don’t want it fixed? or are you just being nice?)

I love the TG! Sorry I couldn’t help. I am thrilled to note there is an inadvertent and wonderful typo in that on my one guest piece, my last name is spelled “Vaughan” with the extra “a.” That’s the original spelling of my ancestors (at least once they got anglicized from the Welsh “Fychan”) and how they spelled it on my reader card at Powys and Hereford Archives on my visit. I love it when that happens! (Don’t fix it.)

Thanks, Maurine.

Books, I’m working on it. The last three donors who used the Donate button in the sidebar paid for an upgrade at Dropbox large enough to hold the Keepa files — muchas gracias, amigos.

SLK, glad to hear it. If anything here does lead to a family history discovery, please consider writing a guest post that explains what you did and how. It would tickle me to know it, and should give other readers good ideas.

In honor of this restoration (!) I’ve been busily exploring the Topical Guide, looking for things related to my families’ experience in early Utah (and I’ve already found a couple of interesting lead to pursue).

A hearty thank-you from this amateur family historian!

Wow. I hope you have that and your whole web site backed up to multiple copies, on CD’s, DVD’s, SD cards, thumb-drives, and Carbonite.
