I’ve decided that the letter ‘Z’ is like Christmas. It always seems so far away, but all of a sudden it’s here, don’t you think?
Welcome to the last week of the Family History Through the Alphabet Challenge Week, the letter “Z”.
Event though it is the last letter of the Alphabet Challenge, the same rules still apply. 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 letter is ‘Z’. 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 this letter – though I’m thinking we’ll all have to get creative with this one, as there’s not a whole lot of Z words int he English alphabet! Anyway the choice is entirely yours … and throughout this Challenge, we’ve had so many great topics already.
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 “Z” 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.

Alona, I will have a post on my blog tomorrow that talks about what I learned from this challenge and ways that other bloggers can incorporate something similar into their family history blog. Thanks so much for the challenge – I really enjoyed participating from the other side of the world! I also got to know quite a few wonderful Australian blogs as a result.
