    Looking forward to reading all the new posts! I thought I had submitted my new first time blog site, but I don’t see it on the list this week…

      Rita — Thanks for joining the challenge! When I go to your site, though, it says that it hasn’t been published.

      Hi Cheryl,

      I’m having a hard time adding your site to my blog reader (Feedly). Do you know if there is a link for an RSS feed?

          Amy,

          It appears that Wix has done everything possible to prevent adding RSS to a free blog. What a shame. I could have used Word Press. I may migrate it there.

          Thanks anyway! I’ll let you know when I have a solution.

            Amy,

            I have migrated over to WordPress. I hope that you can add me now. I really had hoped to commemorate the death of my great grandmother, Marie Kessler Lindner, in the fire bombing of Dresden on February 13, 1945.

            Thanks!

            Cheryl

            Great! Feedly found it this time with no problems. If you could add “52 Ancestors” to the title of your posts so that I can find the ones that are supposed to be in the recaps, that would be great. (Here’s an explanation of how I use Feedly for the recaps and why the title is important.) Thanks!

      Welcome, Barbara! I will start including yours in next week’s recap. I was running way behind this week and didn’t have a chance to add new blogs to my list on Feedly.

      Welcome, Hilary! I look forward to your posts! Just be sure to include “52 Ancestors” somewhere in the title of the posts that should be in the weekly recap. Happy blogging!

    Amy,

    I’ve changed my blog from 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks to My Family & Memories. New blog address is familyandmemories.blogspot.com. Moved all previous entries to the new blog and deleted the old blog. All posts have the label #52Ancestors52 Weeks.

      Thanks for the update! I’ll change the list and update Feedly so I can see your posts.

      One quick note — if you could put “52 Ancestors” somewhere in the title of your new posts, that would help me see them in Feedly (which is what I use to compile the weekly recap.) Thanks!

      Hi! It’s not too late at all! Just let me know what blog you’ll be posting on. When you do a post for the challenge, be sure to include “52 Ancestors” in the title, that way I can spot it in Feedly.

    Is it too late to join your challenge? I just started my blog this week, and I love this idea! I could go really crazy reading all these posts! Nice work!

      Welcome! It’s never too late to start! I’ll add your blog to the page here and to my Feedly list. Just be sure to include “52 Ancestors” somewhere in the blog post title so I can find it. I look forward to reading about your ancestors!

      Thanks, Christopher! You might want to post this on the Week 2 recap that I’ll be posting tomorrow (Thursday, Jan 15). More people will see it that way.

    Hello Amy,
    I tried a few weeks ago to sign up for the challenge, but I think I did something wrong. So I’m trying again. (I’ll call it my 46 in 46 Challenge! Or maybe I’ll try to crank out more than one a week and try to catch up. I know it doesn’t really matter–I just need to get started.)
    So my blog is called areyoumygreatgrandmother.blogspot.com.

    Thank you so much for offering this opportunity.
    Melissa

      I don’t know how I missed that! I’ve added it to the list. I won’t be posting the May topics until next week, but since you asked so nicely… Check your email 😉

    Hello Amy
    It has been a good challenge to participate with the many bloggers writing about our 52 ancestors. I noticed on the tab blogs participating my blog is not listed. Also I noticed the same blog name who joined the challenge in 2014 and not in the 2015 challenge. Would you consider correcting this matter. thank you

    Forgot to post my link: terstriep.wordpress.com The title of my blog is “Putting Clothes on the Tombstones”. Can you tell me where I’ll find the next set of suggested topics?

    I would love to be included in your list of blogs!

    By the way, do we have permission to add the ’52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks’ logo/widget to our blog? I’d be happy to.
