I want to take a minute to point out some features of the website and blog. I am aware that in telling eight stories at the same time, each spanning centuries and containing multiple plot lines, it’s a lot to keep track of. These features may help.
If you are reading the blog through an email subscription, don’t forget that everything is available on the website sandfordhistory.news.blog, including reference features that don’t go out over email. These features are accessible by the buttons midway down the home page, and include:
- The Ancestors page which has pictures and biographical summaries. By clicking on the great grandparents’ names on this page, you can access the summary genealogical ancestry listings for this family branch.
- The Migrations Map which shows our ancestors’ historical movements across North America.
- The By Branch page, which divides the blog entries into separate categories for each of the great grandparents. When it gets difficult to follow eight stories at the same time, you can use this to focus on a single branch.
The 36 posts published so far barely cover a third of the known material, so we’re in this for the long haul. Please encourage others who might be interested to look at the website and subscribe.
