The Year Ahead – March 31

March 31 – Back up your family tree data, and print updated research logs and charts.

Happy Easter, print out those charts so that you can share them around the dinner table. Always have a backup plan for your family tree data. My plan consists of a nightly cloud service backup, that backups not only my genealogy data, but all my data found on my computer. Then once a month, I back up my folders to an external drive. 

Develop a plan and in my case, I pick the first Monday of each month to do my manual backup and it’s a recurring event on my calendar and thus I get a reminder on my phone.
