Another week brings another letter, and this week we’re up to letter H in the Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge.

If you’ve just discovered our Alphabet Challenge, you can read about it here … but in short we are looking for genealogists worldwide who are bloggers, Facebookers, and/or Tweeters to join in us in taking the Family History Through the Alphabet challenge. All you need to do is use the current letter for the week (this week’s letter is H), and connect it to someone, something, or a topic relating to your family that you’d like write about.

So far just a few examples that we’ve had are: streets that ancestors have lived in, genealogy apps, ancestors and their achievements – or what they mean to us, stories of life and death, attributes for family historians, genealogy software, emigrants, historical photographs of people and towns, old documents, food, countries, websites and records … ahh the list goes on, and so does the creativity.

For those that are blogging, I’m compiling a list of each letters posts – which I’ll add under this entry. If I happen to have missed anyone’s please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Particularly for bloggers coming up with a topic, and sitting down and doing each week can be a challenge, so please don’t feel that you have to participate in EVERY letter if you don’t want to.

If anyone has any queries, please feel free to write to me at alona@gould.com.au.

So it’s time to tell us what ‘H’ means in your family history …
