Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Plans to Travel for Onsite Genealogy Research

    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)  Do you have plans to travel to do onsite genealogy research?  [Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for suggesting topics!]

2)  Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.

I don't have many plans to travel to do onsite genealogy research in the near future.


If I could go anywhere, I would love to go to Illinois to meet Jennifer Holik. We made a connection and I see her as a mentor.

 I would go to New York to research my NY ancestors and to solve mysteries. I would go to the National Archives in St. Louis and in Washington D.C. to gain military records for my ancestors. 

On my mother’s side there are possible traces of English ancestry. If I can prove this, I would like to go to the ancestor’s homeland (town) in England.

These are all the trips that I would like to go at the time of writing this post. This list will likely change - the more discoveries I make.

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ?  Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote  just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience,   even when  inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
