Tell Your Ancestors' Stories
Take your ancestors from dry facts to real people... without overwhelm or writer's block
You've worked hard on your genealogy. You've made some fantastic discoveries. But what do you actually do with it? Those discoveries don't do much good just sitting on your computer or tucked away in your file cabinet.
There are two common problems that I hear from people: They don't like the prospect of writing a book or they don't know what to write about or share with others.
That's where 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks comes in.
What is 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks?
Imagine sitting down and not having the anxiety of writer's block. Imagine how good you would feel taking your ancestors from dry facts to stories you can share with your family and preserve for the future.
52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks by Amy Johnson Crow is a series of prompts to help you do that.
Each week, you'll receive a prompt to help you start to share the stories in your family history. No more writer's block. No more overwhelm.
52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks breaks down the writing process, allowing you to make real progress.
Since its beginning in 2013, 52 Ancestors has helped thousands of people record countless stories about their ancestors, all in an easy, flexible format.
Here's What People Are Saying About 52 Ancestors:
How to Participate
You can blog, post on your favorite social media, send an email to your cousins — whatever you want to do to record something about an ancestor.
The point is to get you to take that knowledge that you have and the discoveries that you've made and get them out of the filing cabinet/computer/pile of papers and do something with it. How you do that it is up to you.
BONUS: It doesn't even have to be an ancestor! Our families are made of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins... even "chosen family" like close friends and neighbors!
This challenge is meant to be flexible for what you need.
When Does It Start?
