And an anniversary here at TLG
Six years ago today, the very first post appeared here at The Legal Genealogist.
It explained that, in part:
My purpose in writing The Legal Genealogist is, in part, to help folks understand the often arcane and even impenetrable legal concepts and terminology that are so very important to those of us studying family history. Without understanding the context in which events took place and records were created, we miss so much of both the significance and the flavor of what happened.1
It didn’t stop there. That first post went on to say:
But this blog won’t just be about the law. As the title goes, it’s “genealogy, the law, and so much more.” With your help, it ought to be a lot of fun to see just what “so much more” will be (and how much trouble we can get into finding out!).2
I hope you’re still having as much fun as I am in figuring out just what “so much more” will be (and how much trouble we can get into finding out!).
Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year backatcha, Judy. Your posts have made me think about genealogy in a whole new way, one that led me to re-examine the context of everything of everything involved in genealogy. Thank you. As for the “so much more”, thank you for that, too. I’ve enjoyed so many of your stories, about your family and about your search for their stories, and that pleasure reaffirms the value of my own search and the many small stories about my family that ends up making them real.
Thanks for the kind words, Annie, and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
