Even More Questions About Your Ancestors and Maybe A Few About You

It’s been over two years since we asked the first 20 questions about your ancestors. Which you can find HERE. Then in 2018, we asked 20 more questions and a few about you that you can find HERE. Now in this anniversary month of our original questions, we’ve thought it would be fun to ask more questions about your ancestor and a few more about you. I hope you’ll join in the fun.
