52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks

This year I have a different idea for this blog. I am sure that I will not make the 52 blogs in 52 weeks, but I will at least have a topic for my blogs and a reason to blog. I love genealogy and family history, so this was the perfect project for me this year.

FIRST
That is the topic for the first blog. I think I will start by writing about first things first. I was born in to Kenneth and Bennie Scoggins. So when I think of my direct ancestors, I usually start with the Scoggins line. However, I can easily expand this to other lines. I then remembered a file that I have where I composed a list of when each of the family lines FIRST came to North Texas - Grayson County.

1875 – Lindsey Hamilton came to Grayson County

1876 – 1879 Birth and death of John Henry and Julia Paton Scoggin – Grayson C.
