Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge Week 18 brings us to the letter ‘R’.

As with each week, the one rule of this Alphabet Challenge is that you need to use the current letter of the week and connect it to someone or something relating to your family history, and this weeks letters is ‘R’. So tell us of a place, a person, a ship, a document, a trait, or a heirloom (or anything else) relating to your own family history that starts with the letter R! The choice is entirely yours … and throughout this Challenge, we’ve had so many great topics already.

We still have 9 weeks (including today’s) to go in the Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge, so if anyone new wants to join in please feel free to do so. Join us for one or two letters, or the rest of the alphabet, whatever works for you. We’d love to have you.

We’ve recently had some new geneabloggers join in, so continue to spread the word, and now have bloggers from Australia, England, Scotland, Canada, the United States and the Netherlands. Amongst them there are connections to many, many countries right across the world.

Just a reminder that you can view all the geneabloggers posts for each letter by going to that letter’s page, and scrolling to the bottom – they’re all listed there.

We will list all posts from fellow geneabloggers for the letter “R” below. If you’re a tweeter, and wish to contribute or just follow the topic, follow the #fhalphabet hashtag. On Facebook, you can comment under each letter’s post.

If you do have any queries regarding the Challenge, feel free to email Alona at alona@gould.com.au.
