It’s the end of September! It feels like a long month, if I’m being honest. I’m curious to know how your 30 x 30 challenge went, if you chose to participate. Were you able to do 30 minutes of genealogy research (or organizing or whatever you committed to) every day?
My goal had been to go through my paper genealogy files and weed them out. I got off to a pretty good start but my efforts started to peter out as other priorities emerged. I really do want to get this project done by the end the year–I don’t have space for these files since we’ve moved! The good news is that I shifted my focus to getting caught up on my business’s Quickbooks entry and was able to give that daily attention. And that felt great. I’m almost caught up and I plan to stay caught up now that life is a little more back to normal.
How about you? Please let us know in the comments how your 30 x 30 challenge went and whether it was helpful!
Based on my simple daily genealogy log (thanks for the suggestion to keep it simple), I missed 4 days of doing research. Without the challenge, I probably would have missed more days. I have been concentrating on the US Census from 1790 to 1820. I am currently working on the 1810 Census. Hopefully, by 31 December I will have completed my census research. I will have several individuals that will require additional research. Thanks for having the challenge.
Perhaps I did not post correctly. On September 30th I posted my results of the 30 day challenge. Since then, I have not seen any comments posted. Hope everyone is ok from the hurricane.
You posted correctly, Jerry, and I appreciate it! Good job on getting in 26 days of research in September. I’m in awe of your census research.
Perhaps others will share their progress.
Thanks for letting me know that I posted correctly.
