I started my blog, not because of my love for genealogy or for my love of writing, those are both there of course, but I started my blog because I like to eat, and because I like to hang out with "the cool kids" as Tami Glatz says.<br />Bloggers are some of the MOST Cool Kids. I have never met one I didn't like. But you're right. There are those out there who will be nay sayers. Rise above it and be true to yourself. Thanks again, for who you are and what you write. ~KimKim von Aspern-Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022204734655202924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-45688775084808820472012-01-01T22:41:11.354-06:002012-01-01T22:41:11.354-06:00Hi Amy,

I became a blogger yesterday and it's all because of you. Not all has gone swimmingly but then I can write about my frustrations. Another topic!<br /><br />I'm not a professional, I love to help others get started and I get a kick out of solving the mysteries and the histories. I'm an advanced family researcher/historian, nothing fancy, trying to get it right for the next generations and have alot of fun while doing it.Cherihttp://rootingaroundthebealfamilytree.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-47142327747897988902012-01-01T20:45:33.140-06:002012-01-01T20:45:33.140-06:00Great post Amy!

There are many levels of individuals who do genealogy. I reiterate what Amy said, "remember why you started your blog!" Avoid the negative, enjoy and have fun with your genealogy, just as you would any other hobby! Thanks Amy, very glad to see this post!my Heritage Happenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245411628267355846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-76171394426821145422012-01-01T20:45:05.565-06:002012-01-01T20:45:05.565-06:00Thank you for the kind words, Susan.

I'm a "newbie" at genealogy blogging and it helps to know there are good people on my side.

It feels like 2012 will be about people and business trying to define genealogy and get their own handle on it. When that happens, people sometimes internalize what's being said in a negative way. All genealogy blogs have value and all voices are important. I'd hate for someone to lose the joy they once had in family history due to the critical words of others. This post is my reminder that we are all important in genealogy and I hope that theme carries on through 2012.Amy Coffin, MLIShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-59141732295494354672012-01-01T15:05:26.225-06:002012-01-01T15:05:26.225-06:00Happy New Year Amy, thoughtful piece here today.Happy New Year Amy, thoughtful piece here today.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-83451888461834098872012-01-01T14:51:20.948-06:002012-01-01T14:51:20.948-06:00As ever, Amy, thank you for your thoughtful advice...As ever, Amy, thank you for your thoughtful advice.
