52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks (2020-04)

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks is a series of weekly prompts to get you to think about an ancestor and share something about them. The weekly prompt is provided by www.amyjohnsoncrow.com. The prompt for the week of January 22 is "Close To Home."

As a response to this genealogy blogging prompt, I have decided to update an early family history blogging post that I wrote in 2015.  How does this post fit the topic?  My great grandparents, their daughter (my grandmother) and their son all lived side by side in North Merrick, New York.

James "Billy" Ladson Rogers

Happy Birthday Billy!  




This week it is Billy's 100th birthday!   I have not been able to locate a birth certificate for Billy, but his death certificate lists January 23, 1920 as his birthdate.
