I was 11 when #MyGenealogyStory began. My teacher asked the class to map out our family trees. I was clueless. My aunt, an avid family historian, came to my rescue. 1/5
She shipped me a tube containing a tightly rolled pedigree chart. Like a treasure map to the past, I excitedly unfurled the scroll (printed on dot matrix paper with perforated edging). Covering the dining room table, it contained peculiar names like Burr Zelah and Waitstill. 2/5 
I followed the names from one generation to the next. The 1900s gave way to the 1800s. Most lines stopped by the 1700s but a few went to the 1600s and a couple names even toe tapped into the 1500s! 3/5
On Wednesday, January 26th - myself and @mishjholman are setting you a challenge. We want as many people interested in genealogy to tell your genealogy story either in the form of a blog post, Facebook/Instagram post, Twitter thread or any form that you like!
We'd love to read about how you got into genealogy, your favourite discovery/part about genealogy and where do you hope to see the genealogy world/community/industry in the future? We hope to have all posts showing on social media throughout January 26th (so you can schedule them
for that date if you wish!) and then share it on social media with the hashtag #MyGenealogyStory or tag me on social media on the relevant platform:
