Over the last few years, I have checked to see which ‘Miner’ stories had been most viewed. Here is a list of the most popular stories on the Outback Family History Blog. Feel free to share the stories and remember! all stories on the OFH blog may be copied and shared (just give OFH a credit).
If you have a ‘Goldfields’ business or group, maybe it would improve your social media content to add in some of the OFH stories. There are nearly 900 stories on the blog at this moment, so there will sure to be a story that will fit your page or web site at any given time.
