Summer Homework

This list of ideas for spare time between March and November was posted last year. It never hurts to repeat useful suggestions.


1. Review your research
        In other words, read through your notes and sources. Something new may come to mind.

2. Update census worksheets
        Use those worksheets to keep track of future research goals.

3. Interview a family member
        Don't wait until it's too late, as many of us have done.

4. Start a "to-do" list
       You never know when you may have a chance to visit a library or archive. Your lists can be focused on one particular facility.             

5. Write about your ancestors
         Have your joined "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks?" It's not too late to start.

6. Analyze and organize old photos
         Visit www.phototree.com for helpful comparisons

7. Continue to use FamilySearch
         Work on the tree and research new record sources.

8. Use a library
         Look for the genealogy or local history section.

9. Play with Google
        Use the suggestions from the March 19 presentation.
