As October is Family History Month I thought this would be a great time to start focusing on genealogy again. You know getting back on the horse after my brick wall break through and subsequent brake…. To help me focus I have set 15 goals.
- Set up a Trello account.
- Read at least 4 articles a month from Family Tree Magazine.
- Document questions posted in Facebook groups.
- Look into making a Family History Facebook Group with my Aunts and Cousins.
- Read 31 Days to a Better Genealogy By Amy Johnson Crow
- Attend Roots Tech in 2021
- Look up Family History Fanatics on You-Tube
- Create a City Guide
- Go Through Paper Files
- Create a research plan
- Write Short Summaries of Ancestors
- Look up Dead Fred
- Go through Pictures
- Learn more about my DNA
- Contact a DNA Match
Some of the 15 “goals” are more like habits I would like to create, while the others are long term projects that I will need to invest some thought and time into. This initially is a 6 month plan. After 6 months I will review my progress. Over all I want to be more intentional in my learning about Genealogy and thorough in my research. In future post will go into more detail on each goal and how I plan to fulfil them.
Do you have any Genealogical goals? How do you track them?
