2016 A to Z wrap up

 

This is my third year participating in the A to Z blogging challenge.  Looking back to my 2014 wrap up post, my experience in 2016 was much the same.

I found the A to Z challenge busy - it consumed much of my time through April even though I had planned out what I would write about beforehand and drafted some posts.  I found during the month I changed my mind on some topics and, despite preparation, was writing each day.

I enjoyed the challenge of finding 26 new aspects of family history to research and write about.

• B is for the barque Bloomer arrived 1854
• C is for career in Canberra

I enjoyed other AtoZ blogging participants posts and discovered some new fellow family history bloggers. It would be great if we could have a category that identified us on the sign-up list.
