Reviewing April Goals

April ended too soon. Seriously. About this time last week, I thought I had until the end of this week to work on my April goals. Excuses? I was at the beach and completely lost track of the date. Or. Saturday is the Kentucky Derby and I confused the 1st Saturday in May with May 1st. (That's the best I can do.) 


Research:

Process September research from Pope County, Illinois; Livingston and Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. 

• Didn't even touch this stuff. 

Education:

Attend 2nd Saturday Family History Workshop sponsored by Kentucky Genealogical Society and Kentucky Historical Society. 

• April's subject was "The 1940 Census" presented by Cheri Daniels, Louise Jones and Jennifer Howard (all staffers at the Kentucky Historical Society). The crowd was one of the largest for a 2nd Saturday workshop.

Attend Legacy Family Tree Webinar "Genealogy on the Go - the Families App" presented by Malcom Green.

• Learned a few things even though I've used the Families app for about a year.

Complete and submit NGS Home Study Course Lesson #6.

• Someday I'm really going to do this. 

Writing:

Write a detailed research plan for identifying William Taylor's parents (a brick wall 3rd great-grandfather).

• Done!

Write 10 blog posts.

• Only eight posted. I really want to get back in a better blogging groove. 

Maintenance and Organization:

Clean up 20 sources in genealogy database.

• Done!

Add/clean up metadata for 200 genealogy photos.

• 251 photos processed.

Other:

Index, index, index the 1940 U. S. Census.

•  3,040 records indexed plus 1,960 records arbitrated for a total of 5,000 records processed.
