\"IMGP1496\"<\/a>I\u2019m hearing choruses of locusts on my morning walks these days and being transported back to my childhood days in the middle of Indiana.\u00a0 The weather has felt a lot like my childhood memories as well:\u00a0 hot and very humid.\u00a0 Thankfully I now have air-conditioning which we didn\u2019t when I was a child.\u00a0 And it is certainly a nice contrast to the very cold and snowy winter just past.\u00a0 I am reminded to slow down and pay attention to my surroundings.<\/p>\n

It feels like I need to change my monthly title and theme for these posts.\u00a0 I don\u2019t seem to follow the goals I set very faithfully.\u00a0 This makes me think that I need a reboot or \u201cdo-over\u201d of this idea as well as of my genealogy.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know yet what I might try or even what I really want this regular post to accomplish, so it will be a work in progress.<\/p>\n

August is shaping up nicely as a relatively quiet month, broken most noticeably by a visit from my sister-in-law and her grandson.\u00a0 This is a major deal around here!\u00a0 I also have a visit to the National Archives at Boston<\/a> again with a friend planned toward the end of the month.\u00a0 I am working to make connections in my husband\u2019s family tree with three families in Connecticut who might have been cousins on his mother\u2019s side.\u00a0 Since this is a line we know very little about I am excited to try to find out more.\u00a0 I did get the naturalization papers for each family from the Archives and need to find out what other resources are available.<\/p>\n

Judy and I have locked in a week to go to Salt Lake City to the Family History Library and I am very excited!\u00a0 I have a picture in my mind about how I want to organize my planned research.\u00a0 Now to see if I can make it real.\u00a0 I have started to list the different areas I want to research (e.g., missing vital record for my direct lines) and am collecting film numbers from familysearch.org.\u00a0\u00a0 I am using Evernote for this collection.\u00a0 I envision creating a spreadsheet or list that includes the person\u2019s name and the record to be found and the film number.\u00a0 Maybe I need the location of where the record was created (like state and county).\u00a0 I think if I can at least start with a spreadsheet I can then sort and see where I have more than one item from the same film.\u00a0 Sounds good, right?\u00a0 Doing this is my major goal for August, since we\u2019re planning to go in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
