Blogging A to Z April Challenge: Theme Reveal

Ok, so there’s this Blogging A to Z Challenge in April each year. Bloggers are challenged to write 26 posts on 26 days in April, i.e., a post every day except Sundays. Each day, the subject of the post is dedicated to a letter of the alphabet, starting with A on 1st April, B on 2nd April, etc. This will be my first year participating, so wish me luck.

Today is my Theme Reveal day. I already mentioned my chosen theme a few weeks ago, here, but I didn’t know the rules then. Oops! So, I’m revealing it again now, to get back on track. 😊

You know (or maybe you didn’t) I’m creating a 'Virtual Graveyard', with a memorial page for each of my ancestors. Genealogists go above and beyond trying to locate all their ancestors' burial places. Not everyone feels like this, I know. My husband thinks it's ‘morbid’. But I’ve spent many countless hours seeking out my ancestors’ final resting places and I don’t want them forgotten again.

So, my 'challenge' is to create a memorial for one ancestor each day in April, and include it in my virtual graveyard.

I'll have to employ some poetic licence to use all the letters. There's a distinct lack of Xenas and Zorros in my Irish family. But we'll worry about that when the time comes.

Oh, and I'm going to turn off email delivery for these posts, so I don't spam your mailbox. If you want to receive them each day, let me know and I'll switch yours back on - blackraven.genealogy@gmail.com.
