52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2019

No more procrastination! First things first!

I’ve just discovered that many of the things I’m setting aside time for now that I’ve retired (on the so-called bucket list) are things that I thought of doing many years ago and put off for one reason or another.

Which leads me to the question, “How do I choose what is most important to do right now with my time? What really should be first in my life?”

For me, the answer is Family. I’ll be spending more time in person with my immediate family and more time with my ancestors through family tree research. Along the way, I hope to become a better genealogist by returning to basics, pruning my family tree and making sure I’ve documented all my sources.

I love to travel and when I do, it will be aimed at discovering and strengthening those ties, past and present. And I hope to inspire future generations to love the stories and memories that have been passed down enough to carry on the genealogy traditions I love.

Looking forward to sharing something each week. The January Prompts are:

Week 1 (January 1-7): First

Week 2 (January 8-14): Challenge

Week 3 (January 15-21): Unusual Name

Week 4 (January 22-28): I’d Like to Meet

Week 5 (January 29-February 4): At the Library
