The 63rd edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is upon us and the theme this time is New Year’s Resolutions.
So, without further ado, here are my genealogy-related resolutions for 2009.
I resolve to…
- Accept that try as I might, I cannot always find the answer.
- Learn more about the lives of my ancestors, focusing more on the how and why, not just the who, what, when, and where.
- Blog more, by sharing my ancestors’ stories and helping fellow family historians.
- Transcribe more records than I did in 2008.
- Make a decision as to what level I want to take genealogy to (the family historian? a professional? another direction?) and make a plan for how to get there.
Admirable goals. I look forwrd to your sharing what you find.
Julie, I love the way you’ve presented your goals, as actions rather than projects.
I wish you the best in this new year!
Happy New Year! I’ve enjoyed your blog and look forward to reading more in 2009.
If you decide to go pro, let me know. I fully intend to pursue that path and am looking for other friends that want to do the same. 🙂
