No Genealogical Resolutions

There will be no genealogical resolutions made for this blog for the year 2020 for a number of reasons. Namely, I'm terrible about keeping up with the blog, as evidenced by the lack of recent posting activity.  Making a resolution and then failing to keep it would just end up adding more unnecessary guilt to my pile.  Believe me, there is enough baggage in life with adding to the stress of trying to hit a genealogical goal.

There are so many blogging themes, such as '52 Ancestors' that I've started and stopped over the years that I've just decided no longer to beat myself up over failure to complete.

I do have a number of post ideas rattling around in my head that I need to take the time to make a start on.  There have been some progress in the past few months on my research - namely the DNA front, which should be told.  Christmas brought me a new, easier-to-use scanner that is allowing me to convert a lot of paper to digital as well.

Additionally, I do hope to 'jump start' my research by taking a hard look at some of the data I've accumulated and making sure that I'm prepared to pass it on to the next generations.  I'm at the mid-point in my life, and if there is no successor on the horizon, I want to be sure the research is readily available.

Here's to wishing you all Peace and Prosperity in the New Year....
