I have a friend who loves to make lists. She has so many lists that she has a master list of her lists. I'm going to take a page out of her book and start some lists of my own this week. I'm floundering a bit lately, looking at my tree and picking a person, searching for information, occasionally adding citations... I need to get organized. So, with this in mind, this will be my 'To Do' list for the upcoming week:
1. Review maternal grandfather's information in FTM, create list of blanks I need him to fill in.
2. Review Great Grandmom Sellers's entry, add/reformat citations for all facts.
3. Send a follow-up email regarding the records from the Church Home for Children, where my great grandmother was raised.
4. Call the Radisson, formerly the Warwick Hotel, to inquire about the existence of employment records (Frederick Gledhill, second great grandfather).
5. Review Great Grandfather Gledhill's entry, add/reformat citations for all facts.
6. Review maternal grandmother's information in FTM, create list of blanks I need her to fill in.
7. Call maternal grandfather on Friday to discuss questions.
8. Make list of records to be ordered, prioritized.
9. Research cemeteries in my area, find one to adopt.
10. Add sources to completed blog entries.
This should keep me relatively busy! Good thing I'm off from work on Friday.
Oooh that is me! Yes. Who else do you know who's as obsessed with lists? 10 items in a week? Only 3 have been crossed-off.
ReplyDeleteItem 4, would they give you a copy? If they would, it would seem that the Nancy Drew style of investigation really works. So cool!
Are you insinuating that I'm slacking?? I am actually working on #10 now, but it's a bit time consuming. Number 7 will be done on Friday, as will #4. The others uh... yeah, I'm working on it. It's only Wednesday!
