A-Z Challenge 2014: A is for A-Z Challenge

www.a-to-zchallenge.com

April is upon us again, and for me that means the excitement of the A-Z Challenge.  Created by Arlee Bird of the Tossing It Out blog, it involves taking one letter of the alphabet each day (with Sundays off).

Since this is a genealogy blog, although I will still be taking one-letter-a-day, my posts will have a genealogical flavour to them.  Last year (2013) I noticed many posts had mediaeval tones to them, although the favourites were more eclectic: 'F is for Farthing' was way out front, with twice as many views as 'W is for Wessex and Wyverns'.  This was closely followed by 'S is for Secretary Hand' and 'Z is for Zachariah Hellier'; the rest were only slightly behind.

This year, I will be following a theme of 'Back to Genealogy Basics'.  Even if you have been researching your tree for over 30 years, it is still good to remind yourself of the basics you started out with.  And there are some I wished someone had told me earlier, so that I didn't fall down and have to get up again quite so often!

The timetable is as follows:

  5. Wonderful idea! My ancestors are from Appalachia, some Cherokee. I find it fascinating and use my research on towns where they lived for my fiction writing. New follower. http://tonjasmusings.blogspot.com
