Backup your genealogy/family history related files.
or
Make a list of what you want to accomplish/DO genealogy-wise for each of the next fours weeks ... and do it!
We plan to have suggestions for each day of this month. Most will be smaller ideas to focus on for a day, some might be a little larger. We will try to have at least a couple suggestions so if one does not fit with your family history, hopefully the other will work.
For example, October 1 is International Racoon Appreciation Day so use today as a prompt to research your "bandit" ancestors/relations. Or, it is also Homemade Cookie Day and Digital Scrapbook Day among many other observance days. So use these various and sometimes quirky themes to focus your genealogy/family history efforts be it for 15 minutes, an hour or two, or all day long. Bake a family cookie recipe, or scrapbook it, or share it with family. Research your ancestral bakers, musicians, firefighters, etc. It's Model T day, record your (and your family's) car owning histories. You get the idea, I think.
And by the way, "DYK?" in the headline means Did You Know?
October is Family History Month!
See you someday soon at our favorite library!
