For this week's 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks writing challenge from blogger Amy Crow Johnson of No Story Too Small, the theme is "Closest to Your Birthday."
In Family Tree Maker for Mac, there is a "List of Individuals" report where I was able to create a birthday list including all individuals in my database sorted by birth date.
Birthdays were always special days in my home growing up: my mother made sure of that. Interestingly, there are only three in my database with March 7 as a birthday, and my mother is one of them. The other two are on my father's side of the tree and not related to my mother.
However, there are eight individuals in my database with my birth date of November 21 (including a newly-found second cousin of my husband's, who was also born in the same year as I was). Two of these are direct ancestors of mine!
