#1 Ancestry Info: As Usual, I'm Way Behind on my Daily Posts

Tweet

So, today, I am hoping to catch up on some of these Daily Posts and even add a couple more. As winter sets in, I will have even MORE time to post things on mylot, because I will be staying home on the wintry days. My son signed me up to Ancestry.com, so I’m also spending some time there. I want to proceed with my research on my family history. I basically have EIGHT paths to follow, starting with my FOUR grandparents. But, my son wants me to also follow my husband’s FOUR grandparents. So, this should be very interesting AND time-consuming. I already have quite a lot of information, but there is a lot more that I don’t have. My son has already traced my father’s line back to the 1700s in France. And he has also traced my husband’s father’s line back to the 1600s in Scotland. I have a cousin who has already done a lot of research on my mother’s line, so she has given me quite a lot of information and lots of photos. One thing that I’m hoping to find out is where the white streak in my hair, that I was born with, came from? It runs in my family on my father’s side. I will post a couple photos, so you can see what I’m talking about. Look at my profile photo. I’m going to set aside some time each day for my Daily Posts on mylot and an equal amount of time on Ancestry.com. I’m going to try to catch up today on the Countries in alphabetical order. I will only have time to write a very short post for each country but I do hope to learn more about several countries in the process. I will be reading ALL the information, but only posting a few sentences about each country. Tomorrow, I will try to catch up with “What happened on this date.” I’m going to add: U.S. states information, in alphabetical order and then a “Who in the World” category. That will bring me up to SEVEN Daily Posts. I’m hoping to do TEN Daily Posts, but that just may not be possible. I’m challenging myself. And this is NOT just for mylot. I’m printing out my posts to create a keepsake for my grandchildren. When I write about certain countries and states that I have personally visited, I will be adding personal information about my visits to those areas. I hope you will enjoy some of these posts.
