Do-Over Week 1

I mentioned last week that I would try to update on a regular basis about my genealogy do-over. Here's my first update.

I started a new file in Legacy Family Tree, as intended. I have 10 people entered so far including myself and my husband, our children, my parents, my brothers, and one set of my grandparents Admittedly, that is fewer than I had hoped for at this point. However, it was time consuming setting my file options the way I wanted them, then entering information and creating new sources and figuring out how to attach multi-page documents. Now that I have that sorted out, it should go a little faster. So far, I've attached photos, birth/baptism records, marriage records, death records/obituaries/probates, and raw dna results. I hope to add in the other descendants of my grandparents during this upcoming week, with photos and source documentation attached.

While I'm in the process of my do-over, I'm also working on my final course for a Professional Learning Certificate in Genealogical Studies from the National Institute for Genealogical Studies. That, obviously, has to be my priority until I finish the course in a few months, so I suspect the do-over will be a little show going until then.
