Hard to believe, but today marks the fifth anniversary that I began writing this blog, over at the Bravenet Journal platform. I later switched to Blogger and transferred all my early posts over. My first post was Moses Crothers - possible son of John Crothers and Mary "Polly" Wyckoff? I haven't yet proved Moses was John and Mary's son, but in the past five years I've met some amazing people, online and off, because of this blog. I've added to my family tree from research I've written about here or from relatives stumbling across this blog after a Googling a common ancestor. I've been featured twice in the local paper and had Google Books send a film crew to my home to make a video highlighting how I use Google Books in genealogy...all thanks to this blog and to my wonderful readers.
I've had ups and downs with blogging and even though right now is kind of a quiet time again for AnceStories, I appreciate those who faithfully and patiently stick with me and wait for my next post. So enjoy a piece of virtual cake and celebrate with me! Here's to all of you!

How exciting to have been blogging for 5 years, I bow down to you! You were among the first.
Also, I have a lot of Wyckoffs, early lines from NJ and NY, maybe we are related!

Wow! Awesome! Congratulations!!
I guess this make you an old timer-in the blogging world that is. Here's to many, many more.
Thanks to each and everyone of you who stopped to take the time to read the post and then leave a comment. It's readers like yourselves that give me the motivation to keep on blogging...I couldn't do it without you!
Late to the party, Miriam, but still sincere in wishing you congratulations. Good news – U. Oregon has moved my daughter's graduation date to Monday so I can attend Jamboree again but will need to leave early Sunday. I'm looking forward to spending time with you again.
Kathryn, I'm so glad you get to attend Jamboree. Sadly, I can't afford to go this year. Maybe in 2012 (although my son will be graduating around that time...).
Happy (Belated) Blogiversary, Miriam! Congratulations on five years. Wishing you many more.
Thanks, Kathryn!
