Storyteller Tuesday Challenge - May 20
From Genealogy Matters
Welcome to another Genealogy Matters Challenge!
Each week, Genealogy Matters publishes a challenge for anyone interested in family history called Storyteller Tuesday Challenge. The challenge is that your post should be 350 words or less and should directly address the prompt for that week.
Prompt:
LOCAL LORE - Name a location for one of your 8 great-grandparents.
Tell a story from the local newspaper (as local as possible) that was happening during the time your great-grandparent was living there. Name you great grandparent in the post.
Make it a short post — no more than 350 words. At the top of the post, add this verbiage:
Genealogy Matters Storyteller Tuesday Challenge: LOCAL LORE
Due by May 20
Make the post, then share it in Notes. I will add it to the week’s GenStack in a special section for the challenge. When you tag “@Genealogy Matters” it helps me to find it so I can post it and promote it.
That is what I call a challenge. My 8th grandparents all lived in the mid 17th century. But the oldest English newspapers all began around the beginning of the 18th century. Or am I missing something here? Perhaps a hint?
