August Genealogy To-Dos

August 1, 2010 Tonia Kendrick

Keeping a monthly to-do list is so freeing, mentally.  I feel like I get so much more accomplished.  I stay on track, rather than chasing rabbits, because I know that whatever I think of doing can be added to my To-Do list in RootsMagic and then pursued later on.  These are my plans for August:

Writing:

  • Write 8 blog posts (not including “On this date” posts) – ideally, this will include 1 Women’s Timeline post and 3 Surname Saturdays, but anything counts.

Research:

  • Extract information from 5 pages in Murray County Heritage.  I was looking at this book a couple of days ago and I have about 40 sticky notes poking out; everytime I find something of interest, I attach a sticky note, planning to come back later.
  • Scan last two death certificates and add information to database.
  • Process 4 emails from my genealogy inbox (this includes due diligence to verify facts & then entering info in database).
  • Transcribe Jim Butler military records received in July and enter into database.
  • Look for Elizabeth M. (Tucker) Ellis on the 1900 census.

Database Work:

  • I have a lot of duplicate notes resulting from a recent software conversion.  I want to start going through, alphabetically, and deleting the duplicates.  I’m going to start with the H’s, so that I stay slightly ahead of my work on The Notebook Project.

Other:

  • Continue working on The Notebook Project – I’m on Gertraut.
  • Complete Lesson 3 in NGS “Family History Skills” online course.
  • Attend the Federation of Genealogy Societies Conference in Knoxville.

What are your genealogy plans for August?

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
