I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who follows or reads the Native Heritage Project blog.  2012 has been a banner year, especially for a first year, with over 64,000 views from 115 countries around the world.  I’ve posted 320 articles this year as a result of my research as I transcribe early historical records into the Native Names Project.

If you want to see more, like which were the most popular articles and who made the most comments, the WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 64,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Happy New Year all and here’s looking forward to a wonderful 2013.  Remember, if you find original records that have the names of Native people listed, please drop me a note or leave a comment.  Sharing is how this project has been built.  Thank you one and all!
