52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 1 Fresh Start

Yesterday I reviewed my success or failure of my 2019 Genealogy Goals. Since I wasn't very successful it's time for a Fresh Start. The new year brings a chance for just such a start so today I am stating my goals for 2020.

I will remain in the 52 Ancestors writing challenge and will probably be more successful if I set aside a specific day each week to write.

I will continue to pursue my genealogy education using virtual classes, although this month I will be at SLIG (Salt Lake Institute for Genealogy) for a class in the Introduction to Genetic Genealogy. Webinars will play an important role in this as will a study group I have enrolled in “National Genealogy Society Quarterly – Mastering Genealogy Proof (NGSQ-MGP). As part of this group I will be reading selected articles from the NGSQ and analyzing them in a monthly group meeting.

I will continue working on the “Do-Over” concentrating on one line per month. Re-vamping my blog site is another plan for this year.

On the topic of organization, I will work on both my drop box and download files to rename and place files where they belong. I have way too many things just dumped in those locations. Perhaps 2 hours per week on each area will show a marked improvement in both files.

I will keep volunteering weekly at both the local library genealogy room and the local Family History Center in addition to continuing to maintaining the website for our local genealogy group and planning the programs for their meetings.

I think I have mapped out my goals for the coming year so I hope I can meet my goals this year.

Happy New Year!
