October 1, 2024
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 another 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, International Coffee Day, Pchum Ben (Ancestor's) Day, World Vegetarian Day, CD Player Day, China National Day, International Day of Older Persons, International Music Day, National Fire Pup Day, National Hair Day, National Lace Day, National Poetry Day, just to name some of them. 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.
October itself is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, National Book Month, Filipino American History Month, Photographer Appreciation Month, to name but a handful.
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 at our favorite library!LE
