Last year, I participated in the blog challenge “52 Ancestors
in 52 Weeks.” posed by Amy Johnson Crow (http://www.nostorytoosmall.com/posts/category/52-ancestors-challenge/). The idea
was to post about an ancestor every week.
I took up the challenge for two reasons: to share some of the research I had
gathered over the past few years and to help me concentrate on one person at a time.
I made it to week 18 then lost my focus when my grandson (and
summer) arrived. So, I’m trying again this year! In addition, I am
participating in the Genealogy Do-Over (http://www.geneabloggers.com/announcing-genealogy-doover/) organized
by Thomas MacEntee.
The “Do-Over” is a 13 week “program” with tasks designed to
help participants develop a “firm foundation in genealogy and family history
research skill building.” For those of us who began our “genealogical journey”
years ago, this is a great opportunity to review our past work and ensure we
are using “best practices.” I hope to improve my skills in the areas of citing
sources, keeping better records of my searches, cleaning up my digital files
and verifying my research is accurate.
Let's see how 2015 plays out!!
