The Year Ahead – January 6

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

January 6 – Get involved in your local community. Find a senior citizens center, Rotary Club, library, or historical society and see if you can volunteer or organize a family history workshop.

Other options could include genealogical societies, genealogy clubs, lineage societies. I even taught beginning genealogy classes at my local community college, but they also offered free talks and I did several on beginning genealogy topics. 

Many schools will have a homework assignment on family history, and even if you can’t present the topic in the classroom, perhaps you can give helpful hints to the teachers who will be teaching the subject.

What about a genealogy blog, like this one. I feel as if I am giving back to the community, might not just be my local community, but it’s a community of people.

Remember to have fun and Just Do Genealogy!
