Even though this year's Do-Over is monthly rather than weekly, I still feel like I'm scattered in too many directions sometimes. It's very hard to ignore some of the BSO's that pop up. Irish parish records free for a week, a month of FindMyPast for $1.
I HAVE to look a them! I just have to!
But I am making some headway. Every day I see a little less chaos and a little more organization.
Those files that went missing last week? Found 'em.
In my OCD organizing frenzy I moved the files to a new folder on my computer, thus confusing FTM. All is good now. Things have been restored to some semblance of sanity.
My binder project is humming right along, things that have not seen the light of day for a decade or more are being housed out in the open where I can access them. Even found some death certs I didn't know I had!
My new family group sheets are offering some great research opportunities.
I am working on my own 'story', it will be ongoing I feel.
My mother does not want to play along at the moment, and she is the only one left, so the family interviews will have to wait until I can be more stealth about it. I have been in contact with a few second cousins who have some interesting tidbits farther up the tree. It all adds to the crazy quilt of my family history. And makes for some additional research topics being added to the list of research goals.
There is still so much to do, I fear I will never see the actual light at the end of the tunnel. (Or outside the Cave)
But, let's get real. This is genealogy! It's never done!
