#47 - Lines: My Patrilineal Line

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 December 13 is “Lines".  I decided to post about my Patrilineal Line as far back as I can document.    I am able to trace back my patrilineal line to my fifth great grandfather.
