It is hard to believe that it is nearly a year and a half since I started this blog. It has provided a great deal of enjoyment and a way of showcasing my research. I have also managed to get an article published as a result of it (in Carloviana 2017) and it has added another level to my A-Level History teaching this past year (Industrialisation and Social Change: 1769-1928).
However, after a number of frustrating months, I have made the decision to move the blog's host to Blogger. Though aesthetically pleasing, I was finding Weebly to be quite clunky, with no way of easily locating past posts, and the name I chose (Ex Familia Fortitudo - Through Family - Strength) was proving difficult for even myself to remember. Blogger, on the other hand has suited me well in the past (my blog http://westernweeds.blogspot.co.uk/ was run out of it as was my old school archive blog http://maynardarchives.blogspot.co.uk/) - and I like the easy navigation and more detailed viewer statistics.
I have moved all my past posts over from the old blog so that they are all in one place. The other blog will be still accessible, but People-Past is going to be it's new home.
I have several branches of the family I will be working on over the coming year - I am particularly interested in looking further into our family's west country connections, emigration to North America, the Napoleonic Wars and the Irish Civil War.
Until then, have a wonderful Summer!
