Tin and aluminum--representing durability and flexibility--are traditional materials for a tenth anniversary.

Ten years ago today I posted my first IGSI blog.

Since then I've clicked on Save for nearly 1690 addl postings.

In recent times I've been particularly grateful for the IGSI class announcements drafted by Education Chair Kathleen Foley. And I must admit many postings over the years were items originating with other bloggers and/or published genealogical articles which I've simply shared with our readers. A big thanks to the many sources for blog material!

Along the way, IGSI moved to a new website platform. Converting old blog postings to the new site affected the formats. I've edited some but many still appear as one long paragraph.
