Family Tree Magazine's weekly newsletter offered another challenge for those of us who might need a small push to get back to our genealogy research. This comes from a blog called the "Brickwall Genealogist," written by Susan Bankhead. I have copied part of her plan from her website so you can see what she will be covering during the year.
Brick Wall Genealogist blogger Susan Bankhead will issue a genealogy organization challenge to herself and to you each Monday morning in 2015. Each challenge post will include instructions and suggest tools to help with the task. ("Organize your desk and computer" is the theme for January).
Here's what Susan said:
"I’m going to issue a weekly challenge. These challenges will go out each Monday morning with specific assignments for you to complete. I’ll give you instructions and show you tools to help complete each weekly task."
Here’s a monthly list of the line up:
- January: Organize your desk and computer
- February: Choose a Research Project and Bring Old Research Up to Date
- March: Analyze Background
- April: Ask a Research Question and Determine Research Sources
- May: Create a Research Plan
- June: Execute the Research Plan and Record Path Taken
- July: Analyze Research Evidence
- August: Correlate Evidence
- September: Resolve Conflicts
- October: Record Findings
- November: Write up Findings and Notes for Future Research
- December: Publish Findings!
- I’ll be doing these challenges right along with you. Please let me know how you’re doing!
If you visit www.brickwallgenealogist.com you'll find a post with the January 5 instructions to get started on organizing your desk and computer. Use what works for you!
