Meeting Monday, 12/18

What are we going to do in 2018?  I have lots of ideas and so many things to talk about.  I can’t wait to hear what you are planning too.  We can brainstorm some actions for you.  Here are some ideas we will talk about tomorrow.

For beginners: Go to https://lisalouisecooke.com.  There is a GET STARTED button in the middle of the page.  Lisa has lots of free content: blogs to read, podcasts to listen to, and videos on YouTube.    I haven’t tried her beginner materials, but I enjoy her podcasts often.  She’s good with genealogy and technology both.  Informative and inspirational. 

Ready to dive in to more advanced topics?  Try Genealogy Do-Over.  In 2015, after 25 years of doing genealogy, Thomas MacEntee decided to do a complete do-over of all his work.  I signed up for his 13-week program and that was way too aggressive.  Now he offers a 12-month program with one email at the beginning of the month, a Facebook group and a yet-to-be-announced “special bonus group”. 

The topics are here.  Sign up for the email list near the bottom.  And if a year is too long to wait, there is a $4 e-workbook that lays it all out.

  1. Last November, I ordered for a third party, an autosomal test from FTdna. Just received notification that processing has been delayed a couple of weeks. Clearly, they are having volume problems. I would not be surprised if the same happens to Ancestry, given the huge number of testers that signed on over Thanksgiving.
