It's Saturday Night -
time for
more Genealogy Fun!
Our mission from Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing is to:
1) What is next on your
genealogy "To Do" list? [Thank you to Linda Stufflebean for
suggesting topics!]
2) Write your own blog
post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status
post or note.
Here's mine:
One item on my genealogy to-do list is finishing up the
lesson plans, handout, and in-class exercises for my upcoming AppGen course
called Foundations 2. My goal is to finish everything by September 1. So, I
have four more days. I’m working on the last week, so I am close to my goal.
This week, I listened to the Genealogy Guys podcast while
walking and heard mentioned a new database at My Heritage called “Germany,
North Rhine Westphalia (Arnsberg, Detmold, and Münster), Deaths 1874-1938.” I
did a preliminary search and found some promising returns, but I don’t have a
subscription. I need to take a trip to the Oakland FamilySearch Library or wait
until my next volunteer day which is September 7. My Hork family came from
Oberhundem and I have several people with only birth and marriage records but
no death, so this database will be very helpful to fill out those deaths.
I have an order for Sandra Rumble to pull my husband’s
great-grandfather’s Civil War compiled military service record file and
possibly his pension file. Once that arrives, I will be working on finishing up
his military story.
I also need to rewrite a research report utilizing the
comments from my writing group. Two of the members were willing to re-read my
rewrite.
Of course, I have many more projects, some short-term and
others long-term, particularly working on what I will submit for my BCG renewal
portfolio which is due in late 2023. It’s never too soon to start working on
it.
You have quite a bit on your plate. I really enjoyed my AppGen course and I'm sure your Foundations 2 students will learn a lot. It's good planning to keep way ahead for your BCG renewal, too.
