Welcome! This is an attempt to gather together family history stories as painlessly as possible without having to worry so much about chronology or story length or details (because we can sort the stories and add in details and other perspectives as we go along.)
Comments are moderated, which means that nothing gets posted without approval -- this should cut down on spam. The blog is not indexed or released to search engines, so this should be a by-invitation-only kind of place. And the blog distinguishes between approved "authors" -- which can write posts -- and "comments" -- which anyone can write (but which are sent first to Emily for approval.)
If you want to be an author, send an e-mail to Emily. Being an author is not a big time commitment -- it just means you have something to share. Joel, this means you. And Alzina. And anyone else with stories to share. If you don't have Emily's e-mail, this invitation wasn't meant for you anyway.
In a future post we'll explain how we're going to try to use "post labels" as an organizing tool so you can easily find posts related to a specific family or generation or location. The search function will also help find just the stories you want to hear. And over time, we'll be able to edit things together to create more complete stories from whatever fragments people can remember.
This should be fun. Won't you join in?
