In 2019, I have decided to take on the 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks challenge! Every week I will write a post about an ancestor that fits the weekly theme, as explained by the creator of the challenge, Amy Johnson Crow.
In this post I will list all of the themes and ancestors as we go along, so that they can be found easily later on. I will also post them to the Rooted Heritage Genealogy Facebook page (and a few of the other genealogy groups on Facebook), using the hashtag #52Ancestors. I will also include a few "practice posts" from 2018's themes, since I am so anxious to get started.
It is my hope that other descendants of these ancestors will stumble upon this blog and discover their stories, and be as in awe of where we came from as I am. Happy reading, and wish me luck!
