How timely. I commit to start writing about my family tree with little knowledge of the art and what do I hear about on a December 2019 podcast, the 52-week Ancestors Challenge.
The commitment to write about a new ancestor each week for a year sounds heavy, but only if you make it so. There are no written rules or challenge police to hold you to the 52 writings. It is meant to be a personal challenge to start the conversation, a road map, a plan, a niche of time out of a week to put something down "on paper".
It's a free-flowing challenge not meant to stress you out, but to allow you to hear the information you gathered over the years, really hear the words instead of the facts. I'm sure just this alone will help find the gaps in the story you didn't know were missing or add questions to the follow-up research. Should you find everything is in place, then the challenge is now the reward for all your hard work.
To understand the concept as it was told on the podcast, follow the link to Amy Johnson Crow's podcast page to hear it in her own words. 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks
