I started this blog for a few reasons.  First of all; it seems to me that the current trend of SEO (Search Engine Marketing) is blogging.  Search engines love blogs because they are dynamic, full of content, and generally more informative than a website in general.  I want to learn the process for many reasons – most of all is to market my own sites.  Secondly, I wanted a place for members of the family, and others, to track the progress of the Mineer (Michael Matthew) family.  As far as I can tell there are three main groups of Mineer’s.  Utah, Arizona, and Kentucky (and surrounding states).  I have been able to make a genealogical link from the Utah Mineer family to the Arizona Mineer’s.  However, I have yet to tie us in with those in the eastern part of the US.

Thirdly, and almost most importantly, I wanted to ensure that the Mineer name, when Googled, would show me.  I know that that is not a common search but when it is I want to make sure that it is me and no one else.  People might say why?  The answer is because I want to and I don’t see why not.  I guess it is intriguing to me to make the effort.  When I succeed at this then I can use the information I have learned to market money making website that can make me rich.

My big plan is to focus on my family.  I like list so I will often do things like a top ten list (probably top 7 because I am lazy and want to save me some time).

If you are a Mineer please feel free to drop an appropriate line or two letting me know what genealogy you know about yourself and anything else you might feel is important.
