52 Ancestors - Reboot!

 It's been awhile since I've blogged—or even worked on my genealogy, actually! I just got busy with other things and let it slide, and the longer I let it slide, the easier it became to ignore.

But in the past month, my interest has been reignited and I've been researching my ancestors and listening to some of my favorite genealogy podcasters. One of the podcasts I listened to was an episode of Genealogy Connection which featured Amy Johnson Crow, a genealogist whose blog I follow. On this episode, she discussed her 52 Ancestors project, and inspired me to try again.

I tried the 52 Ancestor in 52 Weeks project last year, and got off to a pretty good start—and then I stopped! This year the challenge is a little different. Instead of blogging about random ancestors, Amy is supplying a 1-word prompt each week to jump-start our blogging. The challenge started in January, and this is August, so I am about 30 weeks behind! Rather than try to catch up all at once, I am going to begin with the first word, Week 1, and then jump into this week's prompt. I will try to blog the new prompt each week, and at the same time, I will work my way through the old prompts. Hopefully I will do at least 2-3 posts a week until I am caught up. Obviously, these will not be in any particularly order, so I will be linking them here. I hope to have the entire list linked by the end of the year.

You can listen to the podcast that inspired me here and you can sign up for the challenge here.
