About

Welcome to Chips Off the Old Block, a blog founded on April 13, 2011, for family members—near, far, known and as yet unknown (to me). This is my attempt to preserve precious family information that could easily get lost, destroyed, or forgotten as the years go by.

Please feel free to get in touch via chipsoff at protonmail dot com. It’s always interesting to make acquaintances, compare notes and trees, etc. Likewise, if anyone has anything to contribute or correct, please contact me. Accuracy is of paramount importance to me. 

Guest posts are always welcome, provided the content is relevant. I will happily help put together something for you if you prefer. Some people have taken me up on that offer over the years, and I am grateful to them for participating and sharing what they know. Those posts can be password-protected, if desired.

You may notice that occasionally, I digress and include historical information that has intrigued me. And, every now and then, I toss in posts on old family recipes or topics about Florida, my adopted home state. I get positive feedback on those so I like to include them occasionally.

If I disappear for weeks/months at a time, fear not! I check in regularly to review comments/questions.

Thanks for stopping by!
