Pick A Year

I've been doing this on my Rootdig blog, but I think it can be a good exercise for anyone to pick a year in their research and try and answer the following questions:

• which ancestors were living?
• where were they living?
• how do you know they were living there?
• what historical events were taking place locally, regionally, and nationally?

By the time you're done, you may have either broken down some brick walls or learned something--either of which is good (grin!).
