I’m not really a “New Year’s Resolutions” kind of person, but I do enjoy goal setting. I do this year-round, though, as I complete one goal, I add another. Last year, I did not have any personal genealogy goals for myself. I had goals for this blog and my local genealogy society commitments, but nothing for my own personal genealogy.
In honor of 2026, I will set some goals for my own genealogy this year:
- Write up my grandfather’s CCC records.
- Transcribe my third great grandfather’s Civil War file (Miles! From Monday!)
- Order homestead records for my second and third great grandfathers
- Develop my proof records for joining Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War
I’ll be sharing my progress on these (and other goals) here and I’d love to hear about yours.
