Riffing on a quote that has been attributed to Dr. Freud - "Sometimes a tree is just a tree" Marie. I am thrilled to see so many images on the website, some of them from our 2013 Guild Competition and I like the logo and colors. More importantly, I like the improvements that our website team continues to add to the site. These improvements give me at a glance the news links, the calendar links, a quick and easy way to search surnames, and an easy way to log in and get to where I want to go. As a result of the recent improvements: (1) I finally put together several sections of my Profile (2) I added 4 names to the Register of Surname Interests (some of my family names in Newfoundland that I am interested in and have information on for a limited time period (1800-current). (3) I can go the old site easily to look through everything I am interested in while the team is hard at work updating, revamping and moving (big fan of the Wiki) Well done - and I am grateful and thankful for all the hard work in the past 6 months by all the Guild volunteers. In the spirit of Thanksgiving - I am counting my blessings and among them are our volunteers, my fellow members (in my humble opinion the Guild is all about the people and so many of you have been so helpful to me with my ONS), and the great resources. Although I send a private thank you whenever I hear from a GOON with a news article or obituary or some results or a link to a data-set or website - let me publicly state that I am so grateful for those of you who forward something to me when you see the surnames KEOUGH, KEOGH, KOUGH or KEHOE. And now I am off to do all that prep work for our Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. To my fellow American GOONs members - have a great and safe holiday.
