Over the holidays I longingly looked at my oft ignored Ancestry pages. Then dear friendly Ancestor advisor, Amy Johnson Crowe again listed her themes for the year in 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks.
So here are the themes which I may follow. They only require one posting a week. That shouldn't be too hard!
If 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks feels a bit overwhelming, give 12 Ancestors in 12 Months a try! Just pick one of the themes for that month and run with it!
