Great Sport: John Moynahan (1849-1904)

I collect "Moynahan" stories whenever I find them and I share them online in my "Moynahan Scrapbook"

When I first read about John Moynahan "a famous sport" I thought it would be easy to find information about him. After all, he had made a fortune for the famous boxer John L.Sullivan. But it wasn't easy to find information about him at all.

When I wrote to history author and writer Christopher Klein (who wrote "The Life and Times of John L. Sullivan, America’s First Sports Hero.") he said that "I'm afraid I've never across a mention of John Moynahan in my research into Sullivan.". I just knew that I needed to create a blog post about  John Moynahan (1849-1904)

Deck The Halls: Create A Family Tree Christmas Tree

This year many folks were curious about how I created it so I thought I would create a quick tutorial on how to turn your family tree into a Christmas tree using word cloud generators.
