Watch This Space- 52 ancestors in 52 weeks

 You may have heard about the 52 ancestors in 52 weeks program from Amy Johnson Crow- well it is back for 2023  - "For those of you who don’t know, 52 Ancestors is a way of chronicling our ancestors by writing about them in a prompt every week. Individuals do this through a blog, their website, whatever works for them and isn’t too much effort - we’re going for telling stories, not getting bogged down in how they’re told.


This year had some incredibly poignant tales, some that truly touched me, some that made me laugh, and some that even inspired me to work more on my own family history. I felt a kinship to all of you, and your ancestors as well."


Go to this page AmyJohnsonCrow.com/52ancestors and sign up for weekly prompts and monthly summaries.  Each Friday, you'll receive the theme for that week, plus suggestions for how you might approach it. If 52 is too many for you, there is also a 12 Ancestor (once a month) program.


Use the hashtag #52ancestors on social media (like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc  mine are at  https://linktr.ee/lrsears  ) if you share your work as well as get inspired by others in the project!
