A Year of Stories

A Year of Stories

I love the idea of Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks. I’m morphing it into my own version, and I plan to expand it a bit. My goal is to create a profile and short story for one ancestor from each branch of my tree and my husband’s each week. I’m starting with the paternal grandfathers. Here’s the one I created for my grandpa this week:

For this one I even found a newspaper article at NewspaperArchive.com to go with the story. As you can see, it’s very short. I knew this picture was grandpa, but I had no idea he worked for grandma’s brother. And my dad was more than willing to tell me all about it.

Do you have a picture of a grandparent that you could write a short story about? I encourage you to do it. Just think, if you did one a week, you would have 52 stories in a year!
