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.
November 3 – Take advantage of the “extra hour” you get
today from Daylight Saving Time ending to search an online collection you haven’t
tried.
Just for the record, not everyone will be getting an “extra
hour”. I lived for 20 years in Arizona and they don’t observe Daylight Saving
Time. Basically, with their hot summers, it would increate energy consumption
if sunsets occur later in the day. I don’t know about that, because it wasn’t
like I changed my AC when the sun went down. However, it did mean that taking a
nightly dip in the pool could occur earlier, because it was usually dark by 8-8:30.
However, the Navajo Nation, which is located in parts of Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico, does observe daylight saving time.
Also, Hawaii doesn’t observe it either because of its
location near the equator means that there isn’t much variation in the hours of
daylight throughout the year. Thus in 1967, Hawaii’s officials decided that the
state didn’t need to disrupt its schedules to account for changes in daylight.
Some US territories also do not observe daylight saving
times, including American Samoa, Guam, The Northern Marina Islands, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands. Plus, many countries don’t participate either.
Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
