July Genealogy To-Do

July promises to be a busy month on several fronts.  We are doing a family reunion for one brach of my husband’s family in a couple of weeks, which means seeing some cousins not seen in awhile and meeting others for the first time – for both of us.  The family was united at my father-in-law’s generation by mostly living in the Syracuse, NY.  Since then there has been a lot of movement and now (like many families) they live all over the country.  Looking forward to it!

The most important project I have to focus on for July is really and truly finishing the new family tree for the wedding in the fall.  I pick it up and put it down repeatedly but haven’t really focused on it to make it a priority.  That’s what I need to do in July.  If I can figure out what is left for me to find out, and what pictures I need to find from other people, I shuld be able to do that.  Then all I have to do is decide how I want a printed wall chart to look and then to make that happen.  Easy, right?!

Organizing computer files will be my fallback, spare 25 minutes, task.  If I can make progress on that – and really have the new tree ready to print by the end of the month I will feel like I made progress.

Happy Summer!!
