I’m giving myself a little rest for my birthday month, y’all. 6700 posts in nine-and-a-half years is … a lot, and some self-care is in order. In June, there’ll be some sporadic posts that have already been teed up, but otherwise I’m pushing back from my desk for a bit. See you soon!

YAAAAAAZ!
I realized that here I was, retired, and STILL spending hours in front of my laptop. There’s still SO much to seek and find and share, but I’ll come back in July with the energy to do it!
You deserve the break and time to refresh. Enjoy and thanks for the many contributions you’ve made to so many beyond what you will ever know.
Thank you! I appreciate your longtime support.
Happy Birthday and much thanks for all that you’ve done to educate us and keep the spirit of our ancestors alive.
Thank you!!
Taking care of yourself is priority. Enjoy the rest. Look forward to reading your posts in July.
Thanks so much!!!
Enjoy your well-deserved break Lisa. Can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate all of the expert research you engage in to bring us our history, even about our own families.
Thanks, Renee! I always enjoy finding new tidbits about families whose descendants are dear to me!
Enjoy and thank you for your dedication to Black Wide Awake!
Thank YOU, Michael! And thanks for your insight, contributions and support!
Well deserved. Ancestors are smiling.
