I guess it's OK to write this post now - I wrote over 940 blog posts in 2020, including some pretty good ones, IMHO. I want to list the "best ones" - according to me!

45 of them ... and I could have added more. It is heavy with Dear Randy, DNA, and personal research posts, but those are the ones that I want to easily be able to find and those that might help another researcher.
I hope you enjoy clicking through some of these over the New Year's holiday. I did! It's funny (haha, not strange) that I don't recall writing some of them. More Gene-amnesia?
In addition, I transcribed and sourced many of the records and documents on hand in my weekly Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts, plus the ancestor biographies in the 52 Ancestors series.
With this list, I should be able to remember some of what I did wrote in 2020!
