As a transplanted Southern Californian (my mother kept the "southern" in the family, but it applies to Florida now), I want to say that I hope y'all (that's southern-speak for "you guys") will have a great time at the Jamboree!
What got me started in Genealogical blogging is something y'all might want to check out: the Black Sheep Sunday meme on Geneabloggers. On the mailing list of the International Black Sheep Society of Genealogists (IBSSG), to which I belong, one member mentioned the other memes Thomas has on his site (Madness Monday, Tombstone Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday), and proposed the Black Sheep Sunday entry. So I thought, "Why not?" And here I am.
My name is Karen Packard Rhodes, and I blog about whatever comes to hand (or mind), in connection with genealogy in some way. So my blog isn't really classifiable as a craft blog or a surname history blog or a methodology blog or anything else. I bounce from pillar to post, discussing whatever seems meet and right at the time.
I completed, with distinction, the 40-course program of study devised by the National Institute for Genealogical Studies in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and administered as online courses by the Professional Learning Centre, Faculty for Information Studies, University of Toronto. I am also currently working on a second bachelor's degree, this one in Spanish and History, at the University of North Florida. I am a genealogical speaker and writer.
So that is me in a nutshell -- where my family will tell you I belong. Again, I hope y'all have a great time at the conference.

Post a Comment
Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
