RBlevins Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’ve been with you since almost the beginning too and I’ve enjoyed it so much. Your posts give us some great dinner conversation. I used to read ALL the comments and one of the things I’ve enjoyed the most is the interaction between the people in the comments and the posts. “Oh, that’s my great grandfather so-and-so.” I never thought about the fact that Traces could just disappear.

OkieGTrider Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'm in. I like and use a couple forums for other areas of interest. I've been a Twitter follower of Traces for a few years. I'm not a Texan, but I might have a thing to two contribute. Took this in November of 22 in Independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Scrooge Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Howdy Traces! Glad to have stumbled across this forum. This is a good idea! I've followed you for years on the twit mess, and occasionally comment on your posts. The 240 character limit there is a real handicap for somebody like me who needs a couple hundred characters just to get warmed up! I'll be a regular visitor here. Good luck to you and your new project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary R. Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I can see that this is a labor of love, and I happy to be included. My Texas ancestors go back to the time when Texans were called Texians. I didn't get here first, but I'm pleased to have my comment Number 1 on Page 3! Edited January 25, 2023 by Gary R.

Dan Cockrum Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks for the invitation. As a bred and born Texan I've enjoyed and learned a lot from all the related Texas posts on your Facebook page and look forward to more of the same here.

OldTexasGal Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks, Traces! Right now all I’ve got is my cell phone most of the time. Hope it’ll work. Love the SuperDallifragilistic, etc (pardon any misspelling). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's almost no better compliment in my my mind than "your posts give us some great dinner conversation." I also REALLY like "my 7th-grade history class reads your posts on a daily basis and their little minds start working overtime," which came in an email to me a couple of months ago.

I tell folks it's either a labor of love or a labor of insanity. What I don't tell them is that, here lately, I'm having trouble distinguishing between the two. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dischfalkjohnnie Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I absolutely love your posts. My father's family came here in 1826. I have some photos from both sides of my family from 100+ years ago. I'd be glad to share them if you're interested. Keep up the good work, sir!

CASanders Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Traces, your new venture thrills my third generation native Texan's heart ! I started following you not long after you appeared on FB. Like you I have been amazed at the photos that have been submitted and I have thoroughly enjoyed your articles. I saw the post that you referenced and had no idea what had happened to you. I have a friend who was banned from FB because he kept wishing friends Merry Christmas and saying May God Bless You. Like many I have become disgusted with the changes made with FB policies and have started to stay off for periods of times. However I miss my friends and the groups I follow such as TOT, Birds of Texas, and TPWD to name a few. Therefore, I keep returning for periods of time. I am sorry you have experienced recent health issues. You have been so dedicated to TOT with your work plus your fabulous photos and stories published. I have shared some of the areas you have visited in our wonderful state. It would be a great loss if the information were to be taken away! I will support you and will follow you. I am also willing to help however I can. Here's to many more wonderful years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinHolmes Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'm joining up because I think this is a worthwhile endeavor and a great way to extend what you do on social media. And as a Texan whose family met the Austin Colony when they got here, I'm obligated. I appreciate what you're doing Traces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
