Well the answer presented itself

I still need to mention that my three Newsletters are published every month with each issue being published four times a year and available on FT DNA in their appropriate groups namely - Pincombe/Pinkham, Blake and H11. This does on occasion generate new additions to the studies which is helpful. 

The occasional Kipp Newsletter may happen but really I can not think of one thing to write actually. Five years after the loss of my husband my memory of items is very weak for Kipp since I was looking items up when I was least interested in genealogy and when I came to genealogy in 2003 I did work primarily on my own family although still helped Edward when we went to repositories in the United States in particular. 

However, I have decided to go offline with my diary and thoughts of life around me and memories of the past that have little or no value in the present. 

So I will continue with the blog although perhaps not a daily thing possibly more weekly but time will tell. I will also mention when I publish the Blake and Pencombe/Pincombe books as they will be available in a similar fashion to the Siderfin books (Creative Commons License) online on my website.  I do have thoughts on beyond the two books but they would not be associated with my studies at the Guild of one name Studies unless I decide to register them.

The question is do I go offline with my blog

 I know some people like my blog on the various families but I am concentrating on just two at a time these days so less interesting. It really was set up to be my diary but seems to have been interesting but I am considering going offline with it. It seems like a logical thing to do as all my time now is devoted to writing these books. 

I started the blog in 2008 after we came home from our week at the Family History Society Library in Utah. A marvelous visit and I learned a great deal there and highly recommend it. I felt it was a way to store all my thoughts from the week and how I organized and utilized all that material in case I ever wondered about it in the future. This is the future and I have a copy of it and I am feeling that it is time at 80 to circle the wagons so to speak. 

Enjoy your genealogies and all the best.
