I do not want my blog to sound as a lecture would, or as a client report would. (In Journalism you learn about the different audiences and how to address them.)<br />And finally: Although I am a "perfectionist" I am not perfect. I strive to do the best I can. I do make mistakes...a lot of them...and I try not to take myself too seriously. Please if you find typos, or spelling errors, feel free to point them out...and I will correct them, I would appreciate the help. Often I write this blog in the wee hours of the morning and I don't employee a proof reader. Thank you for helping me to become "better."

Do you really expect people to take you seriously as a "professional" genealogist when you've used the wrong definite article in the title of your blog? It should be "la maison," because the French word for "house" is a feminine noun. I could point out a couple more spelling errors in this post, but surely a so-called perfectionist is capable of seeing to such details herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901642136475844812.post-20430194342425501012011-09-23T09:52:35.287-07:002011-09-23T09:52:35.287-07:00Keep digging into your own past Kim and you may be...Keep digging into your own past Kim and you may be able to do both!
