new blog

Welcome to my new blog!! 

I am starting this new blog dedicated mainly to genealogy posts. 

Back in 2008, I wrote 2 blog posts - one about Montefalcione, Italy and one about Lapio, Italy. They were my 2 most popular posts. When you search the word "Montefalcione" my post is still one of the top google search posts listed (number six!). You can find them both posts on my shave ice & gelato blog. I also plan to post copies of my Montefalcione & Lapio blog posts on this new blog.

I originally wrote both posts on my slow travel blog. Fortunately, I decided to switch over to wordpress & transfer all my blog posts before we all were surprised one day when our slow travel blogs stopped working and all of our posts disappeared. 

I was pretty active for a long time on my new wordpress blog, but then I got busy with other things like working on my genealogy. I eventually stopped posting anything new on my shave ice & gelato blog. It seemed silly to continue to pay for a personal plan & blog domain so I decided to stop paying for my personal plan this fall... 

BUT I screwed up! 😦  I guess I needed to do something to redirect my posts before my personal plan & domain expired! Because of this mess up, now if you do a search on google, my Montefalcione & Lapio posts, both will be directed to some empty site advertising my blog name. BOO!! 😡

SO... I am starting this blog in hopes of providing another way to find these posts... and just maybe I'll start blogging again one day and do some new genealogy posts.

I had a couple of blogger blogs many years ago but some things have changed. Bear with me as I figure out all the ins and outs of blogger. For instance, sometimes I can change the link color to blue and other times I can't. 

My old blog still works, but I won't be posting anything new there.
