I really thought I was doing my thing, until I stumbled upon all of this...lol. I'm thrilled to know that already I've inspired someone else, just as a certain blogger (you know who you are) insprired me! Please let me know when you start your blog! :)<br /><br />RenateRenate Yarborough Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289031155721526652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-22835280633542379962009-08-03T23:07:50.542-04:002009-08-03T23:07:50.542-04:00Renate,

The past few weeks have opened up a whole new genealogy world for me as well. Since joining GenealogyWise, I have been in awe of all that's going on out there on the internet. To be honest, I was a little embarrassed that I was so out of the loop (LOL), but i'm trying to catch up. I have yet to take the leap into the world of genealogy blogs, but I'm definitely inspired to do so, and to get more involved in this online genealogy community. Your story has given me another nudge towards taking that leap. I look forward to reading more of your research posts. Good Luck!!sjtaliaferrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485340969813958339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-68325176534087077662009-07-22T17:02:45.776-04:002009-07-22T17:02:45.776-04:00Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. You are...Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. You are all so encouraging! And thanks to those of you who have introduced me to others on your pages. Sweet! :)<br />I'm still trying to get my rhythm with this. I spend most of my time alone, so I'm always THINKING. I couldn't possibly blog all of my thoughts! However, I do find that now, as I'm having my thoughts, I'm asking myself, "Should I put that on the blog?" or I'm saying, "I can't wait to get home and post that thought.") I don't always do it, but I have definitely picked up a new blog mentality. (How about a new word -- "blogtality"???) :) More to come....Renate Yarborough Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289031155721526652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-60955869536945215422009-07-22T16:01:26.395-04:002009-07-22T16:01:26.395-04:00Welcome to the world of genealogical blogging.

You'll also find that it can overtake you if you let it! so, set some priorities; keeping time for yourself and your research. And please don't be afraid to ask questions or share your research with others online. As Michael said above, I've never been aware of the case where anyone "stole" anyone else's research. ver at my blog, GeneaBlogie (http://blog.geneablogie.net), we have an informal motto: "learn, share, enjoy, appreciate!" I think you'll find that's exactly what happens here. Welcome again; I look forward to reading about your adventures in research.Craig Mansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567686559055003349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7039019633646767354.post-91251776988105244672009-07-21T09:58:41.639-04:002009-07-21T09:58:41.639-04:00Renate - Check it out... you are officially in the...Renate - Check it out... you are officially in the digital crowd!

I am much like you, having mostly researched by myself for years, only talking to others at the Archives about my research. So far, though, I have found the online genealogy community to be - for the most part - extremely supportive and helpful.<br /><br />I can understand your fears, but in all my years of research, I have never heard of a specific case of anyone "stealing" research. Not that I doubt it happens, but I would expect that it is extremely rare. I found that genealogists on the whole are more than willing to share information, and I myself have been able to break through more than one brickwall through the generosity of others.<br /><br />Good luck with your research, and I look forward to reading much more about your research!Michael Haithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838947327022663525noreply@blogger.com
