Posted on January 11, 2023January 11, 2023 by Diane Faulk

The theme for Week 2 is “Favorite Photo.” I’ve had this theme in almost every version of 52 Ancestors because, let’s face it, who can choose just one?! Plus, we should be telling the stories of those photos so they don’t get lost in time.  One of my favorites is Continue Reading

This week’s theme is “Organized.” Organizing can refer to papers, files, etc., but it can also refer to people. Did your ancestor belong to any organizations?

The theme for Week 36 and September is “Exploration.” Where did your ancestors explore? Who moved around a lot?

Posted on August 6, 2022August 6, 2022 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is “Help.” When did an ancestor give or receive help?

Another route you could take is when you’ve received help in your genealogy Continue Reading
