I guess it's OK to write this post now - I wrote over 820 blog posts in 2023, including some pretty good ones, IMHO. I want to list the "best ones" - according to me! They are the ones I want to be able to easily find later, or ones that might help another researcher. I'll list them in chronological order:

There are 42 blog posts on this list. I went down a lot of rabbit holes and dabbled in AI, and advanced my genealogy and family history research!
In addition (but not on the list above), I transcribed and sourced many of the records and documents on hand in my weekly Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts, and in the ancestor biographies in the 52 Ancestors series, plus the "Seavers in the News" and "Carringers in the News" series. Thenthere were the curation posts for Best of the Genea-Blogs, Genealogy PotPourri, Ancestry New/Updated collections, FamilySearch new/updated collections, Findmypast new collections, Genealogy News Bytes and Genealogy Education Bytes. Plus there are the weekly Wordless Wednesday and Saturday Night Genealogy Fun posts, and occasional publicity posts I receive from the genealogy companies.
With this list, I should be able to remember some of what I wrote in 2023!
