What Are Your 2021 Plans/Goals/Resolutions For Your Genealogy Research?

Calling all Genea-Musings fans

It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):

1)  It's the New Year, and many readers and bloggers have already made resolutions, or goals, or plans for one or more tasks or projects.  Or they haven't yet, but could, or should.

2)  For this SNGF, please tell us what plans you've made, or what goals you've stated, or what resolutions you've averred for 2021.  Writing them down may help you achieve them.  Do one or more as you wish.

3)  Put it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post.  Please leave a link in a comment to this post so readers can find your resolutions/goals/plans.  




#1 Establish a physical filing system that is the same as my digital filing system. I already created the digital side on my Mac computer. I haven’t gotten to do the physical side because I didn’t know how to implement it physically. In addition, I was debating on whether or not I should use manila file folders or binders. After watching an episode entitled How To Organize Yor Genealogy Paper on the series, Elevenses with Lisa, I have decided to use binders... for now.

#2 Write more- I think this will be a yearly goal. I would like to write more of my personal and ancestral stories, in my journal, and or on my blog.


#3 Continue to add to my genealogy program. If I have any free time available, I will take the opportunity to add source citations, facts, images, etc. I’ve been slacking on this task since I got RootsMagic 7 in December of 2019.

#4 Continue to learn about ancestral lineage healing. I have started to dip my toes into this topic a bit last year. I have gotten books regarding this and others. I will eventually write a book review for these books, so stay tuned. I hope to continue to take classes on this subject with Jennifer Holik.

# 5 Work on my neglected family lines. I hope this year I will be better at doing this task than I did last year.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's  Saturday Night  -  time for more  Genealogy Fun!   Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1)  We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2)  Which ancestors would you like to talk to?  What questions would you ask?   3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗 1)   My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998). I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly ...
