3 Years Ago, Today ...

It's really hard for me to believe, but I started this blog exactly three years ago on this day. At the time, I never imagined that I would still be writing this long, nor did I ever imagine that I would post over 1,150 posts by now. It has been an interesting three years so far, and I can only imagine what the next several years will be like for this blog. Enjoy!

Don't Forget! Submissions Due Tomorrow!

I just want to remind everyone that submissions for the Carnival of Central and Eastern European Genealogy are due tomorrow! You can read more about the edition's topic here. Enjoy!

(I apologize for not posting a reminder earlier. I've been busy with school work lately, and I forgot to post a reminder. I am really sorry about that.)
