Welcome

 

Inspired by the "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks" challenge, created by professional genealogist Amy Johnson Crow (amyjohnsoncrow.com) I have created this blog for sharing my thoughts and responses to the weekly prompts.

The idea of the challenge is to get us thinking about our family tree in new and creative ways. I have been researching on and off for over 20 years and I have so much information that it is overwhelming. I want to share it in interesting ways, not just as a series of charts, names, and dates. I am really hoping this challenge helps me to do just that.

I am not expecting that this blog will contain only one family line but will have stories, bios, pictures, and other things my brain comes up with on all the family lines I have researched. This includes my ancestors: Davis, Woodman, and Gordon and my husband’s ancestors: Campbell and Leblanc. I don’t want to recreate the family tree here but share the discoveries I’ve made along the way! My goal is to have a series of posts that can accompany the family tree data to create a memorable family keepsake for the next generation.

Welcome to those who want to follow along as I rediscover the stories within my family tree.
