Downsizing is something that most of us deal with at one time or another. And when you’re a genealogist, it’s especially challenging. (I blogged about it earlier this month.)

I was asked by Gena Philibert-Ortega to contribute some insights to her terrific two-part article on downsizing for Legacy Family Tree’s blog. She gathered some terrific advice from a variety of people and it’s definitely worth a read.

Here are the links:

Downsizing (Part 1) – Getting the Process Rolling (that’s the one I’m quoted in)

Downsizing (Part 2) – Let the Voices of Experience Guide You

Thank you, Gena, for including me!

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
