Trying to get caught up from being at RootsTech last week.
You’ll understand why the photo that Chelsea highlighted in “Harry Mason and His Well-Dressed Brothers, 1925” is one of her favorites. There are also some awesome photos on Beverly’s post “Flora Carter Tidwell of Alabama,” especially with Flora’s mother in mourning dress.
Tying for “Amy’s Favorite Name” this week are Borden Hays Baumgartel (post by Caroll), Seraphin Blanchette (post by Sally Knudsen), and “A Woman Named Jonas Bryant” (post by Andrea Kelleher).
My contribution this week was “The Grandfather I Barely Knew: Ralph F. Ramsey, 1907-1984.”

My week #6: Salomėja Markevičiūtė (Morris) http://passagetothepast.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/book-club/
For some reason you didn’t get my post — http://cpgreber.wordpress.com/
Sorry! Somehow I didn’t have your blog in my list on Feedly (which I have now corrected!) I will include your posts in next week’s recap.
Hi Amy, my Week #6 was #6 Thomas Cooling, Labourer in the lands of the Duchess http://starryblackness.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/thomas-cooling/ Thanks
Sorry about that, Lynne. I’ll add it to next week’s recap. (If I add it to this week’s, those who have already looked probably won’t see it.)
I posted mine on Sunday ~ You must have had a rough week
http://frommymaterialstash.blogspot.com/2014/02/spencer-mitchell-sr-of-north-carolina.html
What can I say — I was trying to keep up while I was at RootsTech.
I’ll include it in next week’s recap (which is shaping up to be huge).
I’ve put up another post 4 Brothers on Skeletons In The Closet.
Thanks so much Amy!
You missed mine this week too! My week #6: Salomėja Markevičiūtė (Morris) http://passagetothepast.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/book-club/
Sorry about that! I saw “New Book Club #52 Weeks” and thought you were trying to read a book a week! I’ll include the post in next week’s recap.
Just wanted you to know I’ve posted another 52 ancestor blog called Mystery In Denver to Skeletons In The Closet.
Thanks for letting me know. I saw the post in Feedly, but didn’t pick up that it was for 52 Ancestors. (If you put that somewhere in the title, I’ll have a better chance of seeing it.)
Reading a little late, but thank you for the name shoutout!
You’re welcome!
