The genealogists on SubStack are a growing community of collaborators and I’m so glad I’ve joined! It has re-energized my work and how I write.
and inspired me by sharing a list of their Sixteen in order to see if anybody shares a common ancestor or surname with them.Additionally,
wrote this great post on making our ancestors findable on the internet, a key part of which is getting those names out there in our posts. Sharing the names in our posts will ultimately help others looking for the same people. There is a lot more to that post, so I encourage you to read it, but for my purposes here, I am sharing my own sixteen.All of these ancestors have had initial research done and so have names, dates and places. So far, I have only written a story about one of them, Sarah Permelia Arledge Whitesell. So much writing to do….
Anyway, here are my Sixteen with links to their biographies on WikiTree.
