Blogging in 2018
While I have been blogging about my ancestors on this website since 2014, it wasn't on a continuous scheduled basis. Starting in 2018, seeing other weekly blog challenges going on in the genealogy community, I thought I would do the same, and challenge myself to post an entry each week about one of my ancestors. While I started off the year by just choosing an ancestor and writing about them, I switched over in February to the prompts given by the 52 Ancestors Challenge. Yes, that sure was a challenge!
I still have a few unfinished posts that need completing, but here are my entries (so far) from 2018. As for 2019? I will see where I stand after completing this prior year, and go from there.
