Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission: Impossible! music), is:
(1) Did you make any New Year's resolutions, or state goals and objectives, for genealogy research in 2018? If so, tell us about them.
(2) If not, then make ONE resolution, or state one goal, for your genealogy research that you are determined to keep during 2018. We'll check on progress toward that resolution/goal during the year in SNGF (if I remember!).
(3) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook status post or Google+ Stream post.
The minor problem is that I have followed the New Year's resolution I made so many years ago I've forgotten when it was: never to make another New Year's resolution! But I guess Randy has given me an out by saying I can call it a goal instead, so I'm going with that.
Hmm, so what is one genealogy goal I want to commit to for 2018?
I think I'll go with really working on trying to determine who my paternal grandfather's biological father was. This means I need to get back to work on taking the Mundy family tree back a few more generations and then bringing all of those lines forward, to try to find living people with whom I can compare DNA. It also means I might want to try out Family Tree DNA's Lazarus Tool, since I have already tested half a dozen of this man's descendants. And, of course, I need to conduct more document-based research to see if I really can put my prime candidate in the right area at the right time.
All right! Time to get started!
I had a feeling this would be your one goal. Good luck and I hope you fulfill it.
ReplyDeleteAw, geez, am I that obvious? :) Thanks for your good wishes.
