The Year Ahead – September 24

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.

September 24 – Examine your family archive for any materials that aren’t safe for long-term storage Folders, tissue paper, and boxes should be acid-free.


Everyone should start with their printed photos. Where are they stored? In an old sticky page photo album. Remove them sooner than later. Scan or photograph those important items. Remember from yesterday that I talked about Shutterfly. What a great way to preserve or share your family archive items by creating a picture book with an explanation of the history of the item. Don’t forget those overside baptism, confirmation or marriage records that some churches give for those events.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
