And an anniversary here at TLG
Seven 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!!!

Congratulations on your 7th blogiversary. I love your blog. Happy New Year, too. 🙂
Thank you, Judy, for your blog. It is a true treasure for genealogists. I have learned so much from you in these past seven (!) years.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Mary!
Happy New Year! I always enjoy reading your blogs. Your genealogy and law blogs are instructive, but I also enjoy the blogs about your family, and I find your 9/11 remembrance blogs very poignant and have shared them on FB. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Thanks so much, and Happy New Year to you too!!
Athbhliain Faoi Mhaise Duit ag an tOllamh Judy.
Frohes neues Jahr!! (Sorry — my Irish Gaelic is rough-edged, but my German’s pretty good! 🙂 )
The only German I know is “Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium….Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt” (courtesy of 4 years of choral concertizing while in college). How about “Bonne Année”?
