One of the great supporters of my annual challenge, Bobbie Edes from Queensland, gently reminded me a few weeks about this challenge. I assured her that I would be issuing it shortly but, in the pre-Christmas busyness, I forgot. A gentle reminder from a genimate encouraged me to make it my first task this morning.
Although my rate of blogging has slowed down this year I couldn't let a year pass without continuing this tradition.
I invite you to take part in this activity by responding to the following statements/questions, several of which are new, in a blog post. Write as much or as little as you want and complete as many statements as you wish. If you wish to take part and don't have a blog please email me your responses and I will post them here on the GeniAus blog.
Once you have done so please share your post's link in a comment on this post or to me via email to jillballau@gmail.com. I will, when I return from a family holiday in mid-January, share a list of links to your responses right here on the GeniAus blog.

Thanks Jill for publishing this again. I will try to write my blog post. Depends on how busy I am over the festive season.

Thanks for your contributions Kerrie Anne and Sammi. It seems that, in spite of the Covid threat, 2022 was a good year for genealogy.
