2011 Genealogy Goals

Saturday, January 8, 2011, 8:42 PM [General]

Happy New Year to Everyone.

My genealogy goal for 2011 is to pour through the Tennessee Death Certificate Images- just as soon as they are posted at ancestry.

Other goals will be to continue photographing grave markers in my area as time and weather permit. A family member has asked me to do some research for them and I look forward to the initial interview and getting started on this project.

My personal life will be busy with a big project at work. I'll have to make time to visit art galleries, museums, and gardens along the way too!

Looking forward to 2011!

Here is a link to the Library of Congress Chronicling America: Historic American Newspaper.

Not every state is covered yet, but it's worth five minutes of one's time to check it out. One never knows what they may find. I found my grandmother's 1904 birth announcement and numerous articles about some day to day activities of extended family which helps me to put the meat on the bones of my family tree.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!

Thank you. My son's girlfriend took them home last night. I also had put curling ribbon where the handles attach to the can. The party is tomorrow, we'll see if I get any feedback :-)

Howdy! I'm a newbie around here . . . Love your profile page - Sunflowers! :-)

Some of your surnames are familiar:

Pugh(Pew), Walker, & Hall but our counties don't line up (shucks).

Still looking forward to getting acquainted around here & hope we can be friends too :-)

I wish I was home so I could get into my files. I am outa pocket in Wisconsin right now and my files are in Texas. I know a true genealogist never leaves home without the files, but this time I just plain forgot them. When I go back in a couple of weeks, I will bring it back with me so I will have it.
