October Genealogy To-Do List

The summer passed very quickly and I was consumed by planning and then taking a 2 week trip to England with my sister.  While genealogical research and even a small amount of organization took place, I was too distracted to note it.

Now I am back and re-adjusted to my own time zone again, and the annual Fall time change hasn’t happened yet to confuse me.  I came home from a wonderful trip with a head full of new thoughts and information, and many pages of paper as well as a usb thumb drive with 2 wills and many pictures.  Here is what I will accomplish in October:

1.  I will enter all new information from the 5 large sheets containing family trees that I returned with, thanks to my cousin and another Denman researcher who may or may not be related many generations ago.  I have a Sussex Denmans database in RootsMagic to connect all this information.  [These are what is known as A1 size sheets, about 22 by 33 inches, and will be stored in a mailing tube when I have extracted the information.  I would like to scan them, and will do that or get it done some time in the future.]

2.  I will likewise go through all the pages I acquired at the Hythe library and at The Keep and from my cousin and integrate this information into the RootsMagic database.    [Some of these pages are A3 size, which is about ledger size, and I’m not sure yet how I will file them.  The rest are, I think, A4 size and should fit all right in my standard files.  I will also scan all of them.]

3.  I will separate my pictures by location and label them.

4.  I will write at least one post for this blog about the trip and our experiences.
