CYNDI'S LIST WAS A MILESTONE IN DIGITAL GENEALOGY, ENABLING 1-1 COMMUNICATION AND SHARING.In a couple of days Cyndi's List turns 30 years old. And to my surprise my friends and colleagues have been scheming to write about CL and the anniversary and post them in the Genealogy Squad. I was so pleased and maybe I cried a bit too. I'm so grateful for everyone who has been supportive of my work all these years. So, I will share those posts here.

From Cari Taplin:

"This is the start of a series that a few of us have put together to celebrate 30 (THIRTY!!) years of Cyndi’s List. We are calling it #30PearlsOfCyndisList .

If you are a member of this page, you probably know Cyndi Ingle as one of the admins for this group. She is the brains behind the website "Cyndi’s List” that started back in 1996. She had been collecting links to genealogically-relevant websites, message boards, and the like, and made a list, on paper, that eventually became Cyndi’s List, on the web. Genealogists have benefited from her FREE service to catalog and organize the genealogical community ever since. Today, Cyndi’s List has over 310,000 links in 232 categories!

If you haven’t visited her site yet, go do it! And stay tuned for some fun stories and tidbits throughout the month.
Congratulations, Cyndi, on 30 years! Amazing!
