This week’s theme is “Favorite Place.” So many records that we use (and memories that we have) are tied to a place. What is a favorite place to research? What is a favorite ancestral home?
DNA
DNA. It’s amazing how three letters could so completely change the field of genealogy. What’s a discovery you’ve made with DNA? What about a brick wall that DNA might help break down?
Brick Wall
Brick walls—we all have them. This would be a good week to write down what you know about your brick wall problem. (Sometimes just writing about it can help!) You could write about an ancestor who used to be a brick wall. Or get creative—maybe an ancestor who was a bricklayer?
Great
This week should be great… because that’s the theme! It could be someone many generations back (like a great-great-great-great-great-grandfather), an ancestor who did something “great,” or someone who was great in some other way.
Music
The birds are singing, so what better time for the theme of “Music.” Any musicians in the family? How about someone who loved music and dancing? What about someone who makes you think of a song?
