'Resolution' is the final theme for this year's #52Ancestors, and I have been looking back at all the posts I have made this year, at the research I have done and the finds made, and perhaps it is time to make a few genealogical resolutions for the coming year.
Firstly, I have loved taking part in this years #52Ancestors challenge, and am resolved to take part again next year. I have really enjoyed the way many of the themes have prompted me to re-look at my research and consider it in new ways.
Secondly, I have been posting regular 'Trove Tuesday' posts, and want to continue doing so next year. Not every week, but at least every second week, alternating with some 'Web Wednesday' posts highlighting some of my favourite websites.
Thirdly, I need to go back and revisit some of my earlier research, checking for accuracy, research gaps and new data available. It is all too easy to concentrate on newer areas of research and not revisit family branches that seem 'complete'.
Finally, I resolve to keep learning, to keep listening to podcasts, attending (physically or online) conferences and meetings, to keep chatting with geneamates and sharing finds and information. The genealogical community is always so supportive and collaborative, and sometimes I forget to reach out and share my successes and brick walls with other researchers.
A good resolution to my genealogical year!
