In Sweden I´m almost alone writing genealogical blogs. I have been looking at blogs from other countries in order to get inspiration and visited yours. Interesting. I have discovered that very few people comment on "genealogy blogs". I wonder why?

The link between William Biddle
and John Biddle and Mary Jones cannot be proven. William Biddle and Sarah (Smith) Kemp had a son John who died an infant. I am a descendant of John Biddle and Mary Jones who cannot find who the parents are of John and Mary.
