WEEK 4 – I’D LIKE TO MEET

For Week 4 of Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks, the prompt is “I’d Like to Meet”.

I have decided that my list is too long to pick just one person. There are so many people that have “dead ends” or “brick walls” right now. So many ancestors that leave me scratching my head trying to sort who they were.

So for this week’s post, my questions are for all those people!

• Who were your parents? Since their names were conveniently left off death certificates and not listed in obituaries.
• Who were your siblings? Maybe your parents names were mentioned in their obits instead. If they happened to have one I can find!
• How many children did you have? Since you seemed to have them between census’ and then they would be gone before the next census arrived.
• Why did you leave your home country to venture to a new one? What part of that country did you hail from?
• What did you like to do for fun? What made you “you”? I’m sure you had some downtime between all those long days working in the fields, on farms, or in your businesses.

These are just a couple of the main questions I would like to ask. Maybe one day I will find the answers to some of them!
