Valuable information, laced with the author's opinions, with which I happen to agree. I've even found an article about a mutual ancestor here at "Echo of the Past", Matilda of Flanders.It's a pleasure to read Carrie Eckles' historical genealogy site.

What an interesting blog concept. Wouldn't it be just as interesting if we all too could have 1,000s of names in our family trees like the author, how would we all connect. Fantastic witting that keeps you interested and want to keep reading more. Great job!
I think the blog is fantastic. An amazing blog full of opinions and historical information that might be useful to almost anyone. The only drawback that I can find is that I wanted to see Carrie Eckles family tree. I think a link to a visual rendering of it would be amazing.
Though Echo of the Past is a fairly new blog, it should prove a good resource for someone interested in the nuts and bolts of researching a family history.

Since my mother has published several volumes of family history and is somewhat of an expert on genealogy, I plan to send her to Carrie's site for a visit.
Very nice!
