April Genealogy To-Do List

Once again this is going to be short and sweet.  I accomplished at least one of my tasks for March: I wrote about a female relative, although it wasn’t my Aunt Susan but instead I switched to my husband’s line and wrote about one of his cousins.  Since I’ve wanted to pull together my information about her this was a good change for me to make.

I got the first page of the William Denman will cleaned up, and discovered that on going back to the original handwriting I was better able to decipher much of it.  I haven’t managed to get the rest of it done yet but I have hopes for April.

I have gotten the wedding family tree pretty much done – at least as much as I’m going to do for this round.  I still need to figure out how to present it.  I’m still seeking a way to do a couple’s bowtie chart that let’s me put the couple at the center with their wedding date and shows each side for 3-4 generations back.  The catch is that I want to do it myself and not have to send the information off to a pay site and wait for the finished product to come back.  I want something I can use in a sharable CD with the rest of the information that I’ve collected.  Yes, I am being very particular about what I want!

So, April will be primarily devoted to getting this project finished and in its presentation state.  Organizing my files is also on my list, so if there is any spare time, or down time when I need something different to do, that is what I’ll be focusing on.
