A short preview for my #AdventCalendar2024 series of posts that will start tomorrow and a review of last years.
Last year my blog was about more recent ancestors and some of my personal reflections, memories and their possessions that I have from them. If you want to revisit that series you will find it starting here
This year I have decided on a different approach which gives a real mix of ancestors from the 1600s forward by doing an #OnThisDay approach. Reviewing my family history database for December events has shown a terrific span of ancestors from the direct line to the more distant and covers a span of 1600s to 1900s. I have then looked at events in that year and also on that day.
There has only been one day in the whole Advent Calendar period that has had no ancestral event so I will leave you, the reader, to see how far through the days we have to go before we reach that one and leave you wondering what I might reveal.
I hope you enjoy the journey through the days and perhaps you might find a connection to your own family if you are just a follower having found my blog. The majority of my ancestors are East Sussex and Kent with a smaller segment of them from Renfrewshire.
These are some of the places it has identified one or other of my ancestors and descendents have lived or had a life event in.
