To Make It More Complete....

Many people have asked why I named my book "The Complete Loy History" when it didn't cover all the Loys to America, just Martin Loy. The answer is that this was only the first part of the title, while the rest of the title identified it as being on Martin Loy's descendants. I'd hoped all the Loy branches could get together and we could make a Loy encyclopedia, "The Complete Loy History, featuring descendants of [Loy immigrant's name]." That never materialized. With the website, it came to being more as I'd intended, but I think this blog will do more to fulfill that by getting all the Loy related websites together.

Does anyone author a gedcom or webpage that has Loy descendant genealogy or pictures on it? Here's the place to post their URLs. Leave a comment to this post with the name of immigrant Loy ancestor, and, if not the same generation, details how the earliest Loy in the gedcom or webpage descends from that ancestor, along with the website address. The subjects don't have to have the Loy surname, just as long as they have a Loy ancestor.

By the way, I currently have a moderator setting for comments, so if your post takes a day to show up, that's normal. I was getting so much spam in the Loy Guestbook that I had to change the settings to where I'd see the post before it posted to the guestbook. To avoid similar problems, I decided to do the same for the blog.

Greetings Loy Cousins and anyone else interested in Loy history!

Being after midnight, I'll make "tonight's" post as short as I can. At long last I've entered the Blogworld!!! Seven years ago a distant cousin suggested I get a Loy blog. (Sorry Angela I've been so slow at taking your advice. ;-) At the time I didn't know how Blogs worked, or what I'd even use one for. However, last week I was greatly influenced by the blog of some other distant Loy cousins and decided my weekend projects would include adding a blog to the Loy site.

Keep watching for more to follow in the coming week...as I learn more how these Blogs work...
