It was unfortunate that our scheduled speaker had to cancel due to illness. We replaced her talk with a webinar titled "Did I Get Everything? Creating a Checklist for Genealogy Research" by Thomas MacEntee. This was one of January's Legacy webinars that we watched free during the week following its presentation.
MacEntee has devised an extensive checklist to help researchers gather every possible bit of information on an ancestor. (Our folders have a similar list of suggestions for sources to research.) He also strongly suggests using a research log to keep better track of your work. Part of his talk focused on using social websites such as Facebook and Twitter for genealogy.
