Top Eight MWM Posts All-Time

The eight most popular posts to date on this blog are not necessarily my personal favorites, but that's OK. I compiled this list, in the spirit of March Madness, after realizing that the "count" of all-time most viewed posts that Blogger offers on its Stats tab is thoroughly and inexplicably broken, i.e. its numbers are different from and lower than the numbers given for each post individually, and some posts are omitted from that list altogether.

1. Finding Ancestors in Fort Wayne, 31 March 2013.

2. Why We Don't Write, 6 May 2012.

3. State and Regional Genealogy Journals (joint post with Michael Hait), 20 June 2011.

4. Getting Serious about Genealogy, 3 June 2013.

5. Moderately Recent Blog Posts I Have Enjoyed, 15 May 2012.

6. Eight Tips for Those Considering Certification, 15 August 2012.

7. Nine Indexes and Finding Aids on the Web Site, 5 July 2013.

I have my own favorites, but these are the people's choices from April (rankings as of late May):

1. Illinois Small City Directories Content and Index (April 5)

2. Indiana Genealogical Society seminar (April 28)

3. Michigan Small City Directories Content and Index (April 30)

4. Top Genealogists on the Web (April 8)

5. Tales from the Courthouse (April 20)


Oh yes, and for you contrarians, this post was the least viewed:

Volunteer for the 1940 Census Indexing! (April 7) 

I'll post the favorites from May in early July, once the dust has settled. Sometimes folks read posts a few days or weeks after the fact.
