And just like that, Jollett Etc. turns 9.
As I did in the past, let’s take a look back at the most
and least visited posts from August 26, 2019 through today.
LOW
See – this is what comes of throwing together a blog at
the last minute. It truly deserves its low number.
It’s an odd post, but I think having a relative’s wedding
gifts register is rather unique. The list of presents is a window on the times,
that’s for sure.
Apparently, what’s trending isn’t that popular among blog
readers. Reading it again now, I’m struck by how the then new terminology associated with the pandemic has become just everyday expressions that slide
off the tongue without much thought or effort.
Now I LIKE this one. Probably only my immediate family
would find tracing our great-grandfather’s line of any interest though.
HIGH
I was
surprised when Amy Johnson Crow picked this blog to highlight that week. I
wrote about my great-grandmother’s journey from Ireland to New York in the
1880s. Of course, I had to imagine her particular journey based on records
about where immigrants boarded a ship in Cobh, how they lived on board a ship,
and what they experienced once they disembarked in New York City.
Again, another surprise being featured on 52 Ancestors!
This one is about my family’s Christmas traditions and how they have changed
over the years.
This story is not about MY family at all but about the
preacher who brought education to the backwoods mountain children in and around
Greene County, Virginia. Naturally, some of my ancestors may have been the
recipients of his good work. Once again, Amy Johnson Crow shined the light on
this blog resulting in my largest number of viewers for the year.
I look forward to seeing what Year 10 will bring.
