Do You Have A Favorite Ancestor?

The first question is, do you have a favorite ancestor? When I started doing genealogy, I would have a family of the month. I’d work on that family, and if I was tired of them after a month, I’d switch to another family. If I wasn’t tired of the family, I’d keep going.

But do I have a favorite? That’s a tough one. A few do come to mind, like William (Willie) Beaton. I want to find his parents, and then I can move on. So he’s certainly one that’s top of mind.

I don’t think I can choose only one. But I do like to write their stories, and that’s why I have this blog. It allows me to tell the stories I either know or come across as I research. I also write those stories in my genealogy book. I keep adding to the stories, and it’s my hope that someday the book will be printed.

So do you have a favorite, and if so, what do you want the world to know about them?


I have absolutely all my proven genealogy in my FOREVER account. I call it Saving My Genealogy FOREVER. I’ve posted a couple of YouTube videos showing my process. I also have two FREE instruction sheets in my store, Shop the Hound. You can find them HERE. (if the system tries to charge you, just toggle the currency switch in the upper left corner.)
