52 Ancestors Prompt "Future"


Note: this post was the final one of 2019. Apparently I left it in draft format and failed to publish it until now. Flash to the past....

On to 2020!


I decided to use this prompt for some personal reflection. I wanted to think about where I am headed in my family history research. The future looks bright—and promises to be fascinating! Here are some of my priorities for 2020:


1.      I need to work on my direct lines, tracing them back further than I have. I tend to get side-tracked by fascinating 5th great-uncles once removed, and fail to look for that 6th great-grandmother’s parents as a result.

2.      I discovered I am distantly, distantly related to several people in my local genealogical society (we were using Family Search’s app at our Christmas party, which checks to see if you have relatives in the room, and shows how your trees connect). Now I just need to prove the relationships—Family Search has some extra generations that aren’t yet part of my Ancestry Tree.

3.      I want to keep blogging about my ancestors, and I want to make another photo book about them. Research, then write! 

So I’m looking forward to my further adventures in genealogy! Onward to the future!
On to 2020!
