I picked up this idea from Randy Seaver and his blog, Geneamusings (www.Geneamusings.com). He said that he got the idea from Amy Johnson Crow, who suggested it as a weekly blog theme.
Sounds good to me!
Randy said: “Doing this should help me add content and standardize content in my genealogy database….” I agree. I don’t use the same database program as Randy, but I can see the benefit of looking at what I have done before, updating it with information that is now available online, and cleaning up and adding citations. If I can figure out how, I will create an Ancestor Biographies Page for this blog and add each of them to that page. I also seem to get lots of questions from nieces, nephews, etc., so these pages will make it easier for others to find the information, and I won’t have to dig it out anew every time.
So, where should I start? I decided to start with my grandparents, and do them in ancestor name list order. I only knew one grandparent, so I will be learning new things about them in the process. Next Friday will be my first Ancestor Friday.
