Introduction

I saw a reference on Facebook yesterday about Amy Johnson Crow's exercise in 2015 of doing a weekly blog posting about a different ancestor in relation to a different theme each week.

So I thought I would adapt the idea, and in junction of my on-going Do-Over, I would do a new blog with weekly (yeah, right!) postings on my ancestors.  My current plan is to do a couple each week from my direct line, but I may venture out as I go back as I may find information limited or unattainable for earlier ancestors.
