Why am I doing this blog?

So I was on one of the many genealogical sites I frequent and ran across someone with a blog dealing with Asian roots. It had a lot of great information and many good tips. We struck up a conversation and I was led to believe doing a blog would be a good idea. Now, I’m wondering. Maybe not!

A blog is definitely cathartic if that’s what you’re looking for, and I must admit that for me, it’s a part of the reason. Really though, I’m looking for more information, which means trying to find new connections and hopefully make new discoveries along the way. 

I’ve done blogs before so I went with the Google Blogger because I was somewhat familiar with the format, but the end game is getting it read and getting some feed-back. This is the part that’s elusive. There’s too much information out there. No one cares. 

I’ve done the Ancestry trees, the DNA tests and the uploading to Gedmatch and all the other sites that will take it. I’ve subscribed and consulted and offered to help, but here I sit after so many years. Life is slipping out of the project. I’m thinking maybe it’s time to give it up but what happens to the 20 years of research and the thousands of files?
