Revisiting a Writing Challenge in 2017 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks

In 2014, Amy Johnson Crow issued a writing challenge called “52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks” for genealogy bloggers. The challenge was to write about an ancestor every week. My participation was lackluster at best. While the challenge continued in 2015 or 2016, I didn’t participate.

Since my goals for this year are to write more than I did last year (50 posts) and to share more of my research, I’ve decided to revisit this writing challenge. Measuring myself against the stated goal will hopefully be the kick in the pants I need to get me to write more regularly and the need for writing material will result in me sharing more of what I’ve found on my many ancestors.

That’s the plan anyway.

First up, new details on the early life of Rev. Frederick Waage.
