A History of Us: An Introduction

Welcome to A History of Us!

I first attempted to start a blog on Steemit about a year ago, but it quickly fell off. I realized that blogging on Steemit should be about more than simply trying to acquire votes, or views or whatever measurement one might be interested in, and I just wasn't really passionate about random historical facts or memes. I was talking with my cousin earlier this month and we were talking about genealogy, which is something that I am truly, deeply passionate about, and he told me that I should look into making a blog about it. He was referring to the type of blog that he had seen on television programs, but it reminded me of this old Steemit blog that I had attempted to make. This got me thinking "Why don't I try to rebrand that failed blog into something new?" So here we are! I will be transitioning this blog to a more genealogical focus and will be providing articles ranging from "How to"s for beginning with genealogy, to more specific conversations on matters such as finding records for a particular group of people.

I am hopeful that I can build or find some sort of community around this, and that I can one day begin to provide more targeted information and advise based upon comments that I receive.

On a more general note: Any advice on how to find success on Steemit is greatly appreciated. I have done a little bit of research today just to figure out how I should be posting (50/50 or 100) and what the differences are, but I am always open to learning more from the more established members of the community.
