It's been so nice, getting back into the swing of things here that things have been percolating in my brain. Because of that, I have decided to do another set of posts. Back when I first started writing here, I did a series called Surname Saturday, where I made a post about the facts I had on my surnames. I took it a bit farther than I really had information on at the time, but I still learned a great deal about my family tree in doing them. I did revisit them a few years ago after doing family books about our family, and found even more things as I worked on them. So I figure it's time to do it again.
This time, I'm combining them with another set of posts I did, called Where We're From, where I looked into the locations my family were from. I focused generally birth, marriage, and death locations. It was a lot of fun, and very interesting to see locations in comparison to each other.
This time, I decided I would start with the most person in that particular family line in direct relation to me (ancestors only), and work my way back in time from where they live now (or where they died if they are no longer living), and all the locations they lived in more than momentarily (about a year at least), all the way back to the place they were born to the best of my ability. I've already worked up a few of the more recent family lines, and it's been quite interesting to see how it stacks up.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing how these turn out, and I hope others will enjoy them as well.
