I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.
I started a new weekly series called "52 Relatives" to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches with events and source citations. They lived and died, and deserve a sketch also - they were integral parts of the lives of my ancestral families. I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
