52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History by Amy Coffin is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for each week of 2011) that invite genealogists and others to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. You do not have to be a blogger to participate. If you do not have a genealogy blog, write down your memories on your computer, or simply record them on paper and keep them with your files.

  1. My parent’s were married on January 1,1950. If they were alive, it would be 61 years today. Growing up on New Years Eve, we had a “traditional buffet of Ham and Potato Salad”. One particular year we were all sitting in the living room and Dad asked mom where the ham and potato salad was for Casey and Bull (German Shepards that he trained from pups). Mom said that if they wanted any they had to go to the kitchen and help themselves. A short time later, we heard a huge crash and when we got to the kitchen Casey and Bull were eating their ham and potato salad. Mom was mad, but dad just said, “What did you expect you told them to do it and they did”. It was very funny.

  13. I’m very excited to start this adventure! Thank you for the promptings to get me thinking. My own personal history is something I’ve started over and over, but never completed. I think this will work for me!
