I'll see if I can get at least one done - starting with Annis Higley Hodges my 5GGrandmother who apparently didn't approve of the marriage of her son to my 4GGrandmother. Even she deserves a decent profile.
I'm in for this one. If I forget to update this post at the end of the challenge, please check my challenge log: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Rosser-226%2C_Challenge_Log#Jan_2019
