Genealogy Goals

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: Week 52 (Dec 24-31)
Prompt: Me, Myself, and I
#52ancestors

  This past year I only had one post. I was concentrating on other things and made some progress in those areas. This final prompt for this year is Me, Myself, and I.  Taking that prompt in a different direction, I am starting this year with genealogy goals.  I thought I would share with you those goals. Some are carry over goals from last year and others are new.

 1.      Complete 52 Ancestors in 52 weeks.  That doesn’t mean that I will complete every prompt. I found at the beginning of last year that the prompts didn’t inspire me.  Probably because I couldn’t think of anything new to write about for those prompts. I just didn’t have the time or energy for creative thought. This year, when a prompt doesn’t bring anything to mind, I will write something else and/or do some very specific research that I can share.

 2.      Work on the McCarley Genealogy Book.  I have a basic layout for it and will work on a chapter specifically when I can think of nothing for the 52 Ancestors prompt. Maybe even share that chapter on the blog. 

 3.      Complete another DAR supplement.  I have one that was submitted in August 2022 that hasn’t been reviewed yet. I’m hoping to hear about it soon since DAR has instituted new processes that they are hoping will speed things along.

 4.      Finish putting together a new program for genealogy societies.  I can’t wait to share this one as it is new and unique. However, I still need just a little more research for it to be truly helpful for genealogists.

  Creating goals helps me focus and accomplish more.  Have you set your genealogy goals for this year?
