Canada's Anglo-Celtic Connections Anniversary

Today marks the 13th anniversary of the first post on this blog. Thirteen — lucky for some.

Over the years I've posted nearly 10,000 items including the popular Rockstar Genealogist polls. An item posted this month, Hudson’s Bay Company Archives records going online has over 9,000 views blowing away the previous record.

Thanks to the many folks who visit regularly, and to FeedBurner which provides a service so you can automatically get an email with headlines from the blog each day. See the left-hand column in the blog to subscribe.

I take this opportunity to acknowledge complimentary access to their databases granted by Ancestry.ca, as a member of their advisory group; also MyHeritage which has just released  6.8 million Norwegian census records from 1891, 1900, and 1910 for those chasing their elusive Scandinavian DNA ancestry.

    I don't remember when I first heard about your blog but it was probably mentioned in a genealogy magazine. I have learned so much from your posts even though I have no Canadian roots. Your links for Irish records has been what I never miss as that is where my roots are located. Thanks so much for providing me with so many places to research. I never miss your Sunday Sundries. Congratulations on your 13 years and I hope for many more. Ed Keelin
