Research Updates

avatar

Well,  here it is already the middle of March and unfortunately I am not very far along on my research plans for the year.    However, I am beginning to get stuff caught up so hopefully, I will be able to get some research done soon.

I have managed to get some things accomplished in the past couple of months though. I started by going back to the software that let’s me get the most accomplished in the smallest amount of time. I have returned to The Master Genealogist. I have also used John Cardinal’s Second Site software to publish my family history to the website. I have tried most of the other software and the various methods for putting my genealogy on the internet and I keep coming back to the combo of The Master Genealogist with second Site! There must be a reason I keep returning!! :-) I am trying to remember those reasons and not let myself be distracted into trying something else again!!

I have also setup a genealogy area in my bedroom. I do use this area when I work at home too, but I am getting my genealogy organized! I am still working on my paperless genealogist quest. I am slowly getting all my genealogy documents, photos, and newspaper clippings digitized. Therefore, my genealogy area doesn’t have a lot of storage area and instead focus on being a pretty, organized, functional area for using my laptop with an external monitor attached which doubles as a TV for when I am not transcribing and want to watch TV while I work at my computer. I really love my new genealogy area. It is coming together wonderfully.

More updates to come as I get my genealogy research updated!!

Leaves of My Family Tree Blogiversary

Today is my third blogiversary!!

I began my genealogy research over twenty years ago now. There have been periods of days, weeks, or even months when I haven’t done any genealogy research but I always seem to keep coming back to genealogy to find just a little more information on those who have gone before me.

I have had a website to show my genealogy for the vast majority of the time I have been doing genealogy. At first, I used direct coding to get my website online. Later, I tried various online websites and software programs to create my website. I used those methods to both display my actual genealogy information and to share my discoveries and to discuss how I found them.

Then in 2010, I discovered WordPress! I enjoy using WordPress to create my website. It makes it much easier to share my genealogy discoveries and my joy at the discoveries.

I hope that my blog readers have enjoyed reading my blog for the past three years as much as I have enjoyed writing them! More to visit come in the next year!!
