Your Genealogy Research Plan: A Day-by-Day Guide

Serious genealogists recognize that they are never truly “done” when it comes to their research.  However, while researching our roots, we often find that the process can become tedious and even frustrating, especially when you stumble across the inevitable “roadblock(s).”  This session will discuss some of the ways to make the research process fun and challenging throughout the year, using your calendar as a genealogical research guide, and even how to utilize holidays to enhance your family history quest.  The presentation will offer innovative approaches to common research tasks to assist both the novice and more experienced researcher.

In this session you will learn:

• How to use your calendar as a genealogy research guide with small daily tasks.
• Discover how to utilize holidays to focus on record sets and take advantage of special offers from paid genealogy websites.
• Learn creative ways to track your research finds and stay motivated throughout the year.
