IMPORTANT: A New, Better Way to Follow the Family History Updates

As many of you know, I have been sharing our family history discoveries, photos, and stories via email updates for some time. It has been a joy to see how many of you—from close cousins to distant relatives—have taken an interest in the Lepley genealogy! However, as our audience has grown, I’ve become concerned about two things: your privacy and your inbox. Sending out large group emails always carries a risk of accidentally exposing email addresses to people you may not know. I also know that life gets busy, and not everyone wants a history lesson popping up in their notifications in the middle of a workday! Putting You in Control To fix this, I am moving away from sending group emails. Instead, I will be posting all updates right here on this blog. This allows me to share more photos and better formatting than email allows, but more importantly, it puts the control back in your hands. How to Subscribe (If You Want To!) If you want to make sure you never miss a story, you can subscribe to get updates sent to you automatically. Look for the "Subscribe via Email" box on the side of this page (or at the bottom if you are on a phone). Enter your email address and click clear. Check your email: You will receive a confirmation link. You must click this to activate the subscription. You choose the frequency: Once you subscribe, you can choose to receive every post as it happens, or a "Digest" version that summarizes the news. The "Quiet" Option If you prefer not to subscribe, that is perfectly fine! This website is public and searchable. You can simply bookmark this page and visit whenever you have a quiet moment and feel like catching up on family history. Thank you for being part of this journey to uncover our past. This change ensures that our family list remains private, secure, and spam-free for everyone.
