[I\u2019m finally making actual progress on this goal. I have settled on several templates for how to do this sort of work which feel ok to me &#8211; I realized that there is no right\/wrong answer, but that settling on a standard way of doing is the important thing. I have now done that, and am now making progress on my digital images of gravestone. YAY!! Best of all I figured out how to add metadata to each file that gives all the information about the image. I got sidetracked going back to add some of the headstone pictures I took on a trip to Ohio in 2005, and so I added at least 4 of those as well as some Ashford ones in March.]<\/li>\n<li> continue to look for sources for births\/marriages\/deaths of direct line ancestors as part of sourcing goal. [I received more photocopies from the FHL in March and added them to my sources in my database. I also sent for another set of records, mostly marriages toward the end of March.]<\/li>\n<li> continue to try to track the current owners of the old Salt house to get some information. This has been on a back burner and I want to bring it to the front this month.<\/li>\n<li> success with tracking the original Denman deed! I talked with the Town Clerk in Neversink and then the next day with the source she recommended and I met a new cousin (well, his wife). We had a very nice conversation and I learned a little about how they fit into my family tree. Best of all there may be a picture of the original William Denman.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Writing<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> write at least 2 blog posts (plus To-Do list) [Since I don\u2019t have a current goal for other genealogical writing I am going to remove this category from my To-Do list. First, though, I have to come up with another category to take its place. Gotta keep myself moving forward.]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\tOrganization<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> copy marriage sources for Dan\u2019s side in Clooz to RootsMagic (sourcing each certificate and attaching to individual who is primary) [I got some of these done in March but not all, so it\u2019s on the list to finish up in April.]<\/li>\n<li> process info in one file in Research Notes 2010 directory (enter into RootsMagic; move file to appropriate directory) [I got another one done in March and will continue to plug away at this goal. Since this is one more place I have stashed info, I need to catch up with myself on this one, so I don\u2019t re-invent the wheel too many times.]<\/li>\n<li> create the database of images scanned and labelled with metadata.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Education<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> watch one online video about genealogy [I watched Thomas MacEntee\u2019s webinar on backing up your data in March, although I couldn\u2019t attend live. Not strictly genealogy education but important. I think this month I\u2019ll watch another RootsMagic webinar, since learning how to use the program more effectively can only be helpful.]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a nor&#8217;easter headed for New England and I am planning not to have to leave the house tomorrow.\u00a0 With any luck the electricity will stay on, and I will have a genealogy day all to myself.\u00a0 Fingers crossed! &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/april-genealogy-to-do-list\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">April Genealogy To-Do List<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[134],"class_list":["post-2701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc","tag-to-do"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2701"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2701\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2715,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2701\/revisions\/2715"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genealogygals.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
