Sticking To A Schedule

 As I continue to work on the family genealogy research, a schedule was needed to keep me on track.  Usually, I'm working on the family in the early mornings (5am-7am) with a cup of coffee in hand and a quiet house.

Below is the schedule by day that I'm trying my best to keep on track with, in order to keep me focussed.  

Sunday - DNA

Monday - 1940 Census

Tuesday - Research Projects

Wednesay - 1940 Census

Thursday -  Research Projects

Friday - 1940 Census

Saturday - Hereditary Society

I'm telling myself that if I stick to this schedule, I can continue to meet my goals of joinging hereditary societies and still continue my project of updating my database for all individuals who were enumerated in the 1940 census.

I'm finding that the 1940 census is a bit addictive - in the "S" section now - and I've already decided that once I'm done with 1940 I will jump back to the 1880 census.

Still Plugging Along

Well I've not done a great job of keeping up with this blog, though it doesn't mean I haven't been working on my genealogy.

Work and summer activities have kept me busy, but one project I've spent an inordinant amount of time on has been the updating of the census records in my database for the 1940 census.  Finding records in 1940 and sourcing them in my RootsMagic database has added a few newly found family members.  Updating the tree at Ancestry allows for additional connections to DNA matches.

I'm working through the alphabet, and am currently in the letter "S", so hope to have the 1940 project wrapped up soon.  My next census project will be the 1880 census - the first one to give relationships to the head of household - and make sure that I have a record for everyone alive at the time of the 1880 census.

Working on some family projects and lineage society applications as well - more to come on those.
