Slekt og Slikt

Today I first made a list of all the persons I have in my database without any sources at all! Lots of living persons of course, that I have just put in because I know their names and birthdates, but also lots of the first persons I collected from family history books and local history books when I started my genealogy database in 1997.

Category 1, Cite Sources:
Sources corrected/identified/cited: 17
Persons attatched to sources: 37 (plus 31 living relatives)

Category 5, Genealogy Kindness:

A – comment on a new (to me) Genea Blog –
Done (I have one goal, to read all the participants blogs to get to know where their heritage is and maybe get to know them better! Already commented on one)

D. Assist another researcher with a research request
This is the easiest one in the whole Games, as I do this all the time 🙂 Today I posted a reply on Ancestry.com messageboard, to give some help on Oslo-research. Norway is a great country for genealogists, as we have lots of records online for free!
This is the thread I put my answer to today, and I am sure I will find more to put there.

F. Join a genealogical, historical, heritage or lineage society.
For years I have thought about joining Wisconsin Historical Society, as my great grandfathers sister settled there, and I have also many other familymembers that went to Wisconsin. Today I e-mailed them my membership form with payment details!

I started my own work on my task today, organizing my project on citing my sources! Lots of work to do!

The opening ceremony was held yesterday (while I was in a wedding of course) – Norway, USA and Canada are represented. This is fun, and a great way to both get to know new people online, and to get some boring work done!
