I completed it when it first came out, was lots of fun and was puff puff puffing at the end :-) ...<br />I so enjoy all your posts but this one interests me particularly... because my dad and his maternal ancestry are from West Riding, Yorkshire... and not too far from Bradford. Your GGGrandfather migrated to Ohio, USA and my dad to South Australia. I like that :-) Cheerio, Catherine.

Did they? I hope you can find him! You've probably already tried the census searches at Family Search?<br /><br />Best of luck to you with finding him!<br /><br />Nancy.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-18873440066144400972013-01-23T14:42:14.365-05:002013-01-23T14:42:14.365-05:00Wendy, I'll have to go back and take another l...Wendy, I'll have to go back and take another look at some of your posts for that challenge. I have to say, I'm definitely feeling like this is going to be a "challenge!" Trying to figure out how to write that post took me a while....<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I too, am missing the death of my 2G Grandfather--the family roamed all over Wisconsin, so I have no clue to even start, and what's worse? The last name is Johnson. Hmmm. Good luck to you!JoAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725295327088235909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-72202107385529228682013-01-23T06:28:16.469-05:002013-01-23T06:28:16.469-05:00You can't get more "A" than a double...You can't get more "A" than a double-A ancestor! I did a similar challenge last year but it was every day in April, called the A to Z April Challenge. It's open to all kinds of bloggers, not just genealogy.

I can see that you've done a whole heap of research on him, but just can't find that final piece to lay him to rest. I can understand what that's like my great grandpa was a seaman, an I've 'lost' him for 7 years. I had him before, and afterward, but I want to know what happened in between. And until I do it's unfinished. Gould Genealogyhttp://www.gouldgenealogy.comnoreply@blogger.com
