Tripping Over My Ancestors One By One Post 3 # 10 Arthur R Hall 1863 - 1919

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her Challenge 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks which she started in 2014.  I have participated off and on with different theme posts. 

I have decided to start with biographies of my ancestors starting with my great grandparents using the ahnentafel order. 

By doing this it should help me get to know each of my ancestors better.  I will be adding the 

information to my Rootsmagic 7 which I recently purchased and work at adding content there and getting to understand the program.  This also will be a great way to eventually share this information with my family members. I have images of many of my sources but have not included due to length of post. I have or will share some of these in other weekly theme posts.
