It's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:
1) Participate in the Ancestors GeneaMeme created by Jill Ball on the Geniaus blog back in 2011!
2) Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.
The Rules, and the Meme list, is given below in my response.
The Rules:
The list should be annotated in the following manner:
Things you have already done or found: bold face type

Things you haven’t done or found and don’t care to: plain type
You are encouraged to add extra comments in brackets after each item
