Who were the #21's?

Who knew that genealogy bloggers and blog readers would have so much fun doing the last Saturday Night Fun challenge? Look at this list of their father's mother's father's mother (and the blogger's name, linked to the post, or the Commenter's name):

* Ida Peters (Dollman) Buss -- Terri

* Flory (McLean) McFadyen -- Brenda Dougall Merriman

Isn't this a great list? None of the bloggers or commenters (probably) ever met these second great-grandmothers, yet their life has been remarkably shaped by these women and their very being is based on genetics passed down from the women. There are some very interesting and poignant stories in these blog posts.

Are you reading all of these genea-bloggers? I found several new genealogy blogs on thisl ist and added them to my Bloglines reader.

In several cases, looking for #21 in the Ahnentafel helped researchers learn about and work with their genealogy software.

I think that I have not found everyone who participated in this exercise - if I have missed you, please let me know via email (rjseaver@cox.net) or a Comment here and I will add you to the list. I started this list this morning instead of on Sunday morning.
