Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Hallowe'en Memories & Family History

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1) What are your Hallowe'en memories from childhood or adulthood. How did you celebrate the day? Do you have any photographs?

2) What about haunted houses? Are there any in your family history? Black cats? Creepy neighbors? Or witches - are there any in your family history?

3) If you were to make a genealogy-themed costume, what would it be?

4) Tell us all about it in a blog post of your own, in comments on this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. Be sure to link to them in a comment on this blog post.

I never really went out to go trick-or-treating, but I did wear costumes a few times. I probably wore something generic like a Disney Princess costume.

Some years, my siblings and I would go to our aunt's house and pass out candy. Afterwards, we took the leftover candy back home and ate it.

In elementary school, we had class parties and did Halloween-themed activities. In the neighborhood I lived in was younger, there were hardly any house lights on.

In my family history, there are no witches. I don't think I would consider going into any haunted houses. If there are witches in my family, that would be quite interesting. My family only had one cat, but it was grey.

I can't think of anything interesting to write for a costume on the spot, so I am not sure. If anything comes to mind, I will add it.

Happy Halloween!

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
