2019 in Review

As the year comes to a close, I want to share what 2019 was like for me.

This year has been filled with many successes and discoveries.
  • I launched my blog- I wanted to start a blog back in 2017/8. This year, I took the plunge and I did it.

  • Blog series: 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks- I didn't do so well on this, but hopefully next year will be better.

  • Best of Genea-Blogs post- My post was featured on Genea-Musings. I was so excited. I never would have expected one of my posts to be on a big named Genea-Blogger.

  • Randy Seaver, if you reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could meet you one day.

  • A possible lead to find my 3rd great-grandmother's parents.  Even likely DNA matches on my mom's and aunts match page. I have to make a post about it next year.

  • Trying to prove my great-grandmother's relation to Rosa Mott. Though I didn't achieve this goal, this year, I made progress. Here is Intro & Part 1. I didn't post Part 2 but will come sometime in January or February. 

  • Learning the circumstances as to why Clara's brothers, Jesse and Oscar were put into an orphanage. This will become in a series later in 2020. Stay tuned!
