It’s the middle of the month. How’s your 30 x 30 challenge going? Please let us know in the comments!
I have to admit, I’m not having a great month for genealogy research. It’s disappointing, because I really do want to take in a bunch of RootsTech classes and I also want to prep for the 1950 census release in just a couple of weeks. But sometimes life gets in the way of enjoyable activities.
My 92-year-old aunt is having some health difficulties and I’m her Power of Attorney so I’ve been kept very busy arranging for and monitoring her care from afar. I’m glad to do it but after taking care of my aunt and my business I don’t have a lot of extra time.
I’m so glad I didn’t procrastinate too much on my census prep. I’ve been able to identify some enumeration districts for some of my people, in case the name indexes don’t give me what I need. I’ve managed to research or watch RootsTech classes only 10 of the last 15 days. Disappointing, but unavoidable. I’m just going to do what I can and not beat myself up.
I hope some of you have had a better go of it and that if you haven’t your being kind to yourself about it! I hope to take in at least a few classes before the end of the month.
I am getting a little done each day, but not hitting the 30min target as yet, but due to world events my work has just gotten much busier, and spending more time at work. I hope to plod on a little at a time over the next couple of weeks, and despite not doing 30 minutes a day I am making some small amounts of progress on my goals for this month.
Daily research can so powerful, Missy! When I manage to research daily, even if just for a few minutes, I feel connected to my ancestors and my research. Bravo to you!
I’ve managed to do the equivalent of 12 days of research this month. I haven’t watched any of the RootsTech lectures though.
Keep up the great work, Rebecca!
