Happy New Year 2023! Enjoy time ringing in the New Year with family and friends. I will be doing the same.
​As you think about the upcoming year, have you thought about your family history research goals?  I like to make goals rather than resolutions because resolutions seem to have a poor track record.  Think of three things that you would like to accomplish for your family genealogy. Perhaps you can choose a smaller activity that you could start and finish in January or February.  One of the things that I plan to do is create research summaries for my four main family branches. As part of that project, I hope to identify any gaps and additional research opportunities. Enjoy beginning a new project and perhaps completing one that has been lingering in your to do list.  
Happy New Year!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas 2022! Enjoy time with your families--make good memories! Happy Holidays!

​This week I’m reviewing documents and sources to ensure that I have them entered into Family Tree Maker and have utilized the information fully. Sometimes when we get on a research role, we check off those documents that we have found but we don’t spend enough time reading them completely. Let’s look.

​Once you become the keeper of family history, it is interesting how quickly your boxes of old photos multiply. At first you are excited to see each one and then later you realize that it has become your responsibility to scan, label and archive them. I recently learned useful tips. Let’s look.

​This time of the year…winter…makes me want to curl up with a good book. If you’re like me, you might have several genealogy books, but in my world you can never have too many books. Let’s look at book ideas.
