52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks – Week 47: Thankful
The 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge is Thankful to coincide with Thanksgiving Day in America.
Week 47 – Thankful
This year after much saving, my children and I were able to travel to England and Scotland. It was a glorious holiday (except for the car hire company) and we got to see many places our ancestors lived, worked, or visited as well as visiting many attractions. We got to catch up with a friend who now lives in England and we got to meet many of our wonderful family in Staffordshire. Here are just a few photos of our trip.
