I am waiting patiently (well, trying to be patient) for their arrival. One death record is potentially my Joseph Scheier, husband of Zissel and the father of the siblings I have written about.<br \/>\n* Plan research trip to southwestern Ohio with my sister. I think I will focus on cemeteries and maybe a couple of the towns my family lived in with the aim of providing some current pictures and local history for context.<br \/>\n* Continue to search through the 1940 census for family.  I have found a number of families, but continue to look for my parents (who were college students but might have been on co-op when the census was taken.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organization<\/strong><br \/>\n* In May I actually made it through the rest of the folders in my Research 2011 folder on my husband&#8217;s side and sourced information in my database and moved files to where they will reside more permanently.  I also scanned all of the photos that were piled on my desk.  Celebrate!!  Now they only need to be put in protective sheets and it will be done.<br \/>\n* What I didn&#8217;t get done was the rest of the inbox, or the Snow and Minor information from the Connecticut State Library.  So those are still on the list.  If I keep putting them on, sooner or later I will get to them.<br \/>\n* Back up the blog. Putting this on my monthly to-do list reminds me, when I look at the post to see that it got published and this helps me remember to actually do the back up. Otherwise my memory doesn&#8217;t always work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Education<\/strong><br \/>\n* Learn more about finding living relatives and how to persuasively contact them.<br \/>\n* Watch one online video or webinar about genealogy.

I also watched one of the free <a href=\"http:\/\/rootsmagic.com\/Webinars\/\" target=\"_blank\">RootsMagic webinars<\/a> specific to the latest version, about using the new research log feature.  Ok, not strictly about genealogy but very useful and it will stand me in good stead as I research.]  Disclaimer:  I am in no way affiliated with RootsMagic except that I use the program and I really like it.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research * I sent for 5 remaining birth\/death records still in the Scheier 2011 folder, from LDS, in May.
