Back on 27 July 2009 I started this blog, never thinking
that nine years later I would still be posting stories online. But here we are! When I look at my first blog posts I can
still remember how fun it was to write up those family sketches and push the “publish”
button. Can you believe that I still
feel that same excitement when I post stories today?
Of course, it wouldn't be half the fun if it weren't for my readers. I truly do enjoy your comments and email, and the replies I see on Facebook. Thank you to each every one of you!
Here are some fun statistics about the Nutfield Genealogy
blog-
I have written and published 2783 blog posts
327 Surname Saturdays
405 Tombstone Tuesdays
353 Weathervane Wednesdays

My all time most popular post was written on 30 December 2012
about a favorite Christmas gift. It has
been viewed almost 250,000 times, but it especially popular each December. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-favorite-christmas-gift-you-might.html
The list of 9 generations of Surnames from my family tree
has reached over 22,000 hits. Is one of
your family names on this list, too?
Facebook is by far the biggest referring website for links
to my blog, followed by Google, Buzzfeed, Pinterest (and I don’t even do
Pinterest anymore, although I still have an account), Bing and other bloggers
(thanks!).
This past year I wrote four new blog posts that have already
reached my top ten most popular list:
1. Megan Markle’s New Hampshire Roots
2. How Genealogy Literate Are You?
3. Stephen Hopkins of Upper Clatford, Hampshire,
England
4. Colonial Boston in Miniature Dioramas and in
Giant Murals (in the same spot!)
People use some interesting keywords to end up at my blog. The top ten keywords are:
1. White horse
2. Maria del rosario cayetana alfonsa
3. Flora Stewart
(a story about her is also my second most popular blog post)
4. Nutfield Genealogy
5. Duchess of alba
6. Kilcher family tree
7. Thanksgiving proclamation
8. Tombstone
9. Villar de ciervo Salamanca (where Vincent’s
grandmother was born in Spain)
10.
Weathervane
