12WRC

Week 3 of the 12 Week Research Challenge focuses on growing your tree, particularly the most recent generations. Because we typically know these people, we tend to neglect them in our tree. So the challenge was to make sure that these folks (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, first cousins, etc. are entered in your database with their correct information (and for those who are advanced, make sure facts are cited).

I had already done this for my side of the family. But I had sort of neglected my husband’s side. So I spent a little time filling in the blanks, making notes of questions to ask his parents, adding items to my to-do list for a few records I need to obtain, and citing the new facts I’d entered.
