Posted in 52 Ancestors Challenge on by .

52ancestors-week33The summer has flown by. Kids are already back in school and the days are noticeably shorter. Even the weather around here feels more like fall than summer. (I am not complaining about that!)

How’s the Challenge going for you? I will admit that I am horrendously behind — not a good thing for the challenge organizer to be!

Leave a link to your most recent 52 Ancestors post in the comments below. And for some great reading, check out last week’s contributions! There continues to be good stuff written every week!

52 Ancestors Challenge: Week 32 Recap

Posted in 52 Ancestors Challenge on by .

52ancestors-week32I’m not sure which is weirder — the fact that it is August 13 and I have my office window open (a rare occurrence this time of year in the Midwest) or that kids are going back to school. Where did this summer go?

This past week has certainly flown by. it’s already time for the next round of 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks! As we’ve been doing, leave a comment below with a link to your post. Also include the name of the ancestor you wrote about — it makes it easier for people to scan through.

There were lots of great posts linked on the Week 31 recap. Be sure to check those out.

Happy reading!

52 Ancestors Challenge: Week 31 Recap

Posted in 52 Ancestors Challenge on by .

52ancestors-week31I have a question for everyone. How did it get to be August already?!

It was great seeing so many of you in Indianapolis at Midwestern Roots last weekend. Hope to see several more at the FGS conference in San Antonio at the end of the month… which will be here before you know it.

Be sure to check out the Week 30 recap. Lots of great stories added last week!

Quick reminder — when you leave the link to your 52 Ancestors post, include the link to the actual post, not just to your blog. Sure, that post is at the top of the page now, but it won’t always be. Make it easy for your cousins to find you 😉
