I was surprised at this week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver. I had seen this going around Facebook and pretty much ignored it:
1) A "Bucket List" meme went around Facebook several weeks ago where you put an "X" in the box if you have done it!
2) Copy and paste it into your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook or Google+ and fill it out (erase my entries and insert your own).
3) Put a comment on this blog post to tell me where I can read all about you!
So here's the list I've been ignoring for a while and my responses:

Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
