52 Ancestors In 52 Weeks Blogging Challenge (2014)

My entries in Amy Johnson Crow’s family history blogging challenge.

The challenge: have one blog post each week devoted to a specific ancestor. It could be a story, a biography, a photograph, an outline of a research problem — anything that focuses on one ancestor.
