Just a reminder: there's only three weeks left to submit entries in this year's Great Genealogy Poetry Challenge . Thanksgivng Day falls on November 22nd this year so the deadline for submissions will be a week before, on Thursday, November 15th.
Here are the rules for the Challenge:
1. Find a poem by a poet, famous or obscure, about the region
one of your ancestors lived in. It can be about an historical event, a
legend, a person, or even about some place (like a river)or a local
animal. It can even be a poem you or one of your ancestors have written.
0r, if you prefer, post the lyrics of a song or a link to a video of someone
performing the song.
2. Post the poem or song to your blog (remembering to cite the source
where you found it.). If you wish to enter an older post, you may as long
as it has not appeared here in an earlier Poetry Challenge.
3.Tell us how the subject of the poem or song relates to your ancestor's
home or life, or the area of the country where they lived.
4.Submit your post's link here to me by midnight Thursday, November 15th
and I'll publish all links to the entries on Thanksgiving Day, November 22nd!
5. If you submit a humorous poem or song that will be entered under the
"Willy Puckerbrush" division. Willy was the late geneablogger Terry
Thornton's alias for some humorous posts and comments.
This is the tenth year of the Challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing what poems people find!

Do we submit the link at this post or at September's announcement post, Bill? Thanks!
Bill, this is the link to my entry for this year. It won't post until 11/7/18 at about 10 p.m. Thanks for hosting this challenge. It's nearly always a challenge to find a poem or song, but such fun, too! https://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2018/11/byker-hill-for-tenth-annual-great.html
