First Feedback

I experienced a feeling of Joynealogy this morning when I opened an email. It was a message from Jenny, a member of our local community. 

Although I have heard from fellow researchers this was the first feedback I have received from a member of  our community. I haven't yet felt confident in promoting the CareyBay2283 study in the community so this was very special and valued reinforcement.

I'm jumping for joy

"Hi Jill!

My son, Ben is involved in Boy Scouts and he's working on earning his Genealogy badge. Since the topic piqued his interest, his leader encouraged him to do some research at home.

Luckily we came across the Carey Bay 2283 site! Ben is really enjoying looking through the Resources page: https://careybay2283.blogspot.com/p/resources.html"

Ben is interested in resources for discovering his ancestry and suggested https://www.portugalcitizenship.org/all-about-portuguese-history-genealogy-and-immigration/ as a resource to be added to my Resources Page.  This made me realise that I need to rename my Resources Page as it's really meant as a list of resources I have used for information on Carey Bay. I am therefore renaming that page so that its purpose is clear. 

As Ben's suggestion is valuable for those searching for ancestors and kinfolk in Portugal I will be sharing his suggested link in a post on my GeniAus blog

Thanks Jenny for reaching out to me, you made my day.
