52 Weeks 52 Ancestors

When I was about 10 years old, my grandmother showed me an old coverlet. She said that it had belonged to one of her great-grandmothers. It had been handed down to the oldest daughters and one day it would be mine.

 That's when I got hooked on genealogy. Over the years my research has been rather hit or miss (boxes of photos and piles of paper on the floor.)

I just completed Boston University's Genealogical Research Certification program. It was intense! I felt totally out of my league, compared to some of my brilliant classmates. I had so many bad habits and gaps in my knowledge. But I made it!

One of my resolutions for 2018 is to put what I learned into action. Some of the photos are in an album and the papers are in binders. I'm ready to begin 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks!.
