For instance, a little while ago I visited Terry Thornton's blog Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi to review one of his earlier posts. While there I discovered that he had added Kinexxions to his list of H.O.G.S. Blogs! Terry came up with that moniker and a logo earlier this month to describe his style of blogging.
According to Terry, a H.O.G.S. Blog is one that includes a little History, some Observations, a little Genealogy, as well as some Stories. I'm not sure that Kinexxions includes all of those things in full measure, but I'm honored that Terry thinks so. Thus, I will proudly display the H.O.G.S. Blog logo in my sidebar. Thanks Terry!
And, now, if you'd care to learn more than you ever really wanted to know about the history of hogs in Indiana, check out "Hoosier Hogs" (pdf file) published by The Indiana Historian in August 1994. . . Pigs in Time, Driving Hogs to the River, Porkopolis, and Pig Potpourri. It truly is amazing what you can discover out there on the 'net!

Becky, Indeed you are a HOGS Blogger! And thanks for the link to Hoosier Hogs --- it is a goldmine of info about hogs in general and Hoosier History specifically. I was pleased to learn that Cincinnati was once considered to be the Porkopolis of the nation! And the pictures of the slaughterhouse at Delphi IN hold special meaning. My late father-in-law was the production foreman for a large southern meat-packing company --- and I enjoyed visiting the kill floor when they were processing pigs. It is amazing how quickly and efficiently slaughterhouse workers move and the assembly-line process of preparing hogs for human consumption is a marvel to see. I'll keep this link to Hoosier Hogs. It is a good one. Thanks.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
