This year February is shorter than last year. Of course, that means that last year was a leap year.
However, even though it was a short month it was filled with interesting things.
February was Black History Month so I wrote about a family connection to Simon Estes.
Two of our most important presidents were born in February, and I have ancestors who lived near both of them. To honor Washington and Lincoln I featured them in posts in my new series They Lived Near:
See:
They Lived Near: Abraham Lincoln
They Lived Near: George Washington
My little sister had a birthday this month.
I wrote a post in my Virtual Hike series. Why was Saugus a destination on my journey across America?

I also wrote some other posts about family history including one about my great grandfather being a Shoe Salesman.
I hope you enjoyed my February posts.
