It's easy to create your account to get started. Just click NEW USER and create a username. Your password will be emailed to you within seconds.

Take your time and write as much or as little as you want. Remember, it's your blog, so if you want to write a book, here's your opportunity!

We hope that you will not only enjoy sharing your stories and information about yourself and your family members with others, but will also find valuable information about other Hibbard Family members around the world.

While you are encouraged to be creative, please keep your blogs centered on Hibbard, Hibbert, Hibard, Hubbard family information and discussion and not on other subjects such as politics or current news events. There are many other website blogs on the Internet that encourage these type subjects.

You are also encouraged to share upcoming events such as family reunions and other family events and activities. Be sure to include the date of the event in the main title so that others can quickly search your announcements.

When writing your blogs, it is not recommended for you to give your address, telephone number or date of birth. However, birth dates for family members not living are recommended and encouraged.

For example, you should write something like, "My name is Mary Hibbard-Jones. I was born in 1950 and now live with my husband Charles Jones in Dallas, Texas. He was born in 1948. We have two sons, Richard born in 1970 and Bill born in 1973. I like to read and play tennis. We have a family restaurant and have been in business since 1997. My father John Hibbard was born in 1935 and he and my mother, Jane Smith-Hibbard now live in New York, New York. She was born in 1937. They had one other child, my sister, Martha Ann who was born in 1951. My grandfather was John Hibbard born October 1, 1810. He died on January 12, 1895. He was a simple man, a farmer by trade who discovered gold on his land in Atlanta, Georgia. His wife Betty Williams-Hibbard was born September 1, 1815 and died February 10, 1901."

In this example you have given information about you, your family and your descendants without giving actual dates of birth. However, for those not living you have given important dates for identification of those persons who may share exactly the same name with another Hibbard.

Giving social security numbers of family members not living is also encouraged and useful for research, however, is prohibited for any living family member you mention within your blogs.

Have fun with your blogs and please don't be shy! Other family members who come here doing research are depending on you!

Thank you for your contributions!
