My 2016 Genealogy Goals

We're a week into 2016, and a lot of people have set their New Year's resolutions. As a genealogist, my New Year's resolutions consisted mostly of things genealogically related, and I'd like to share them here.

• I would like to resume my 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks blog posts. Instead of focusing on one ancestor per week, I want to focus on one family per week.
• Do more volunteering - specifically more record indexing with the WAP (World Archives Project) and with FamilySearch.
• Engage in more genealogy education (other than watching videos). Specifically reading more genealogy books.
• Be more involved with my DNA matches - specifically contacting those without trees, and being more available to help those who are adopted.

And, my main goal for 2016:

• Attend my first genealogy conference - Federation of Genealogical Societies Annual Conference - which will be held in Springfield, Illinois (2 hours from my home) August 31 - September 3rd.

Here's to all the new ancestors I will be learning about in 2016!
