Thanks to Amy Johnson Crow and her "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge!," I am trying to start keeping this blog up to date again.
- Project 1 -- Find out
with proof the names of the parents of Thomas Hunt Sr. and wife Lucy.
- Project 1.5 -- Trace
backwards our McFarland ancestry. (With the direction, energy, and help of
cousins Bill and Susan Kromer Hunt and researchers to whom they introduced
me in recent years, there is a DNA confirmation of the Thomas Hunt
ancestral tale that we were once McFarlands (McFarlins, MacFarlanes, etc) linking
us to other researchers and 1700-1800's Orange County, North Carolina
McFarland families.)
- Project 2 -- Over the
years since publishing my Hunt (2002), Moody (2007), and Wingate (2005)
family histories, I have accumulated data additions, corrections, and
knowledge of cousins and research unknown to me before. I will share
as much of that as I can on Researching Roots.
- Project 3 -- Write as
much as I can of the families of Joseph and Annie Fears Hunt and Deason
and Ozie Mae Hunt using quotations, narrative, and photos.
- Project 4 -- Write as
much as I can of my own recollections of my life with Martha, family,
career, and friends.
Note: Check the blog post of January 2016 of the same name as this. You will see that I have yet to make much progress on some of these (now slightly altered) goals from that year. I hope to keep my nose to the grindstone a bit better in 2018.
