This week’s blogging prompt is the State of California. Blog about an ancestor or your families connection to California. If you don’t have any connections to California, find a California resource useful for genealogy research to highlight and write about. This week’s prompt runs from 8/4/2013 – 8/10/2013. If you choose to follow along, I would appreciate a mention to the Hidden Genealogy Nuggets website.
