Who's Your Grammie?

I have been writing about the grandmothers in our family tree since August of 2012. Beginning with "A is for Anna" each entry introduced you to a different grandmother. Telling the Grandmother stories was a fun way to share my research with family and friends. Now I am looking at our Revolutionary War ancestors, their service records, the story of their families and of course the stories of their wives, our grandmothers. After all, "Who's Your Grammie?" is about our grandmothers!

I have met the Alphabet Challenge, so where do I go from here....

Dear Blog Readers....

I started this blog when I found the Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge. It has been a great way to turn my research into short stories about the grandmothers in our family tree. I have told 26 stories so far, but I want to continue telling the stories of our grandmothers.

My grandmothers didn't change the course of history, like the famous women in the poster here, but they sure made history: their own history and it is worth remembering and retelling. I am eternally grateful to the women before me without whom I would not be here. It is a joy to lift them up this way so that their lives are remembered by all of us.

I will try to post at least once a week. Stay tuned. Maybe I'll even throw in a grandpa along the way!
