Preface

On Facebook, I found an advertisement, "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks." The program sends a weekly email with a writing prompt for doing genealogy.  It encourages the user to write about 52 different family members.

My mother passed away on November 25, 2016 from liver and kidney failure. She loved to do genealogy. Many family members and friends contacted her for help with their own genealogy.  Instead of telling stories of ancestors, I will be telling 52 stories about my mother.

This blog is dedicated to my mom, Kathleen Sixkiller Olsen, better known as Deedle.
