Through the years I have made and have MANY pages of research findings in the cupboard and computer - and also lots of info on my shelves and resting in my brain from the incredible courses taken before and during covid time.
so... now to actively assimilate and incorporate all, rather than suppose it will enter my brain by proximity. (which would be nice but come now.... really...)
=====================
the running tally... so far in 2022 - (not a bad list)
--- for this time around I was lead on CAGGNI's bi-ennial conference, GeneaQuest 2022, held on 17 September, and now tucking in the ends. Doing lead on a gen. conference brought to mind the Japanese proverb about climbing Mt. Fuji, "not climbing Mt. Fuji is the action of a fool, climbing Mt. Fuji more than one time is the action of a fool."
--- published a piece in Chicago Gen Quarterly "naming the stillborn" which added two non-acknowledged births to the family tree on my mother's side, at her generation.
--- did an ISGS SIG this year on Discovering Documents, a short (30 min) teaching/exploration/expansion talk about one of the basic documents found/used in genealogy - birth certificate, death, marriage, ww registration, square land, metes & bounds, city directories, newspapers. It was good to do, but I'll not be continuing in 2023 -- as mentioned at the top of this post, there is lots (one hesitates to say too much) in my cabinets to address.
--- finishing up the writing: Proving a father for Patrick Ross...
--- finishing up the writing: Manerva & CW pensions...
--- lectures out and about
