Genealogy New Year’s Resolutions

It’s the start of a New Year! Now is the best time to set your genealogy goals for 2017.

Check out a few New Year’s resolution ideas to get you started in 2017:

• Take a DNA test and add your test results to your family tree on Geni
• Finally break through that troublesome brick wall in your family tree
• Visit the graves of your ancestors and take photos of their tombstones to add to their profiles
• Order that microfilm that you’ve been meaning to do
• Make a trip to the local archives to do some hands-on research
• Share your genealogy findings more often with your relatives and get them to join in the search
• Attend at least one genealogy conference
• Connect with new and distant relatives
• Scan and organize all your photos and documents and upload them to Geni
• Do more family interviews, especially with your older relatives
• Expand your interests and collaborate on some of the unique genealogy projects on Geni
• Take a genealogy trip to visit some place significant to your family history
