As I look back on what I shared since last April, I see that I did participate in quite a few 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks posts (writing prompts courtesy of Amy Johnson Crow). Some of my favorite blog posts of the past year include:
Aunt Mary Fights Standard Oil, where I corroborated a family story about my maternal grandmother's sisters with newspaper articles from 1952.
Ogontz School Yearbook 1926, where I shared my grandmother's yearbook page and included the names of her 41 classmates in hopes that someone searching for their ancestor's name will find it.
Paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Adsit |
Great-Grandmother was a Golfer, where again I corroborated a family story about Mary Bowman (Ashby) Adsit with newspaper reports from between 1898 and 1903 (where she is named as Mrs. C. C. Adsit).
And of course all my NERGC posts: I interviewed three genealogists who lectured at the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium Conference: Elissa Scalise Powell, Shellee Morehead, and Lindsay Fulton.
I also blogged about my three days at the conference: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.
I do have more family stories and photographs that I hope to share in the coming months. Thank you to those who continue to follow my blog.
Elizabeth, Congratulations on your 8th blogiversary. It's fun that we share Maine roots. You might even share some with my husband, as he has a pile of people in Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! It would be fun to find a specific connection either in Calais, Maine or Barren County, Kentucky.
