 Have you started creating your education plans for 2020? If 
so, will you be attending live conferences or workshops?
Yes, it's already February, and there is still so much more to do during 2020.

I am not able to attend any conferences this year, but I will be virtual attending webinars and conferences. 
MY PLANS

  • This year, I will be watching as many webinars as I can. Such as Legacy Family Tree, VGA, state genealogical societies, Youtube channels, FS Learning Center, etc.

  • I will have to make time to read my NEW books, I got for Christmas. I am currently reading The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy-2nd Edition.


I am thinking about creating a genealogy club in my area. I want to be more active in the community and get my name out there. 



Another thing I'm considering is using Second Life for genealogy.  I read Elizabeth O'Neal's post about her homeschool plan and, she mentioned a few interesting societies, that I will need to look into further.




What are your plans for 2020? Leave a comment down below.



Thanks for reading,

People have become interested in learning about their ancestry and where they came from. There is another thing about DNA tests-they can reveal family secrets. You probably have seen articles, videos, and even books about the effect on people's lives of DNA testing. This may change the way someone thinks about themselves and or their identity. In the theoretical example, "Sally" took a DNA test as well as her immediate family. 6 weeks later, she checked her results, all her family matched her, but Sally's sister didn't share enough DNA to be considered as a full sibling. Sally's mother tells her that sh...
