Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Your 2022 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 Write - I would like to write about my ancestral stories on my blog. Specifically, write about the methodologies, and case studies like I use to do in 2019.

#2 Continue to add to my genealogy program - I will continue to add source citations, facts, images, etc. I did a bit last year, hopefully, even more, this year.

# 3 Work on my neglected family lines. I did a bit last year, hopefully, even more, this year.

#4 Continue to work through brick walls. I may not accomplish this goal this year, but if that is the case, the only thing I want is to make progress on them.

I think I won the "Genealogist's Outstanding Procrastination Award" for 2021. Though I did some genealogy, there wasn't always a focus or I didn't make any progress on my goals. I didn't do much genealogy because I needed a break from looking at the computer and I had no motivation, or drive to do any at times.

Hopefully, I can break through at least one brick ball this year. Wish me luck. 😀

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 ...

Vestal (Images of America) - Book Review

This is the first edition of "What's NEW in my Bookshelf?" Recently, I received a book called Images of America-Vestal by Vestal's town historian, Margaret Hadsell. Here are my personal thoughts on the book. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1. Prehistoric Vestal 2. Vestal 3. Ross Corners 4. Tracy Creek 5. Twin Orchards 6. Vestal Center 7. Willow Point 8. Mile Wide Summary The book mainly shows photos of prominent settlers and locations around the town of Vestal. It briefly mentions pre-Vestal and the families, churches, schools, businesses, etc., within parts of Vestal. Evaluation I liked how the author inserted plat maps into the book. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a section of the entire map in which part of it will be "zoomed in" on specific areas of Vestal. I was a bit disappointed with this book because I expected more context, though I did love...
