14 June 2013

Today for Personal Progress, you need to get your project plan* approved. And you need to keep working on keeping standards for Choice and Accountability 2.

Here is my plan*, broken up into how I will spend each of the 10 hours.

I will spend at least 10 hours over 10 days working on my Family History. Each day, starting June 16, I will set a timer to be sure I work at least an hour. I will express my gratitude for those who help me and record my experiences in my journal. I will specifically think about my ancestors and their contributions and think about how I can bless the lives of others. I will also evaluate my project once it is complete. Here is my breakdown for each hour.

1. Get out information from Individual worth 6. Assess what information I have and what information I need to find. Set up a day to visit my local Family History Center to use ancestry.com. 
2. Search FamilySearch.org site for documents from deceased ancestors. 
3. Search FamilySearch.org site for documents from deceased ancestors.
4. Search FamilySearch.org site for documents. Also, Search FHL catalog for books and journals about ancestors or family lines.
5. Search ancestry.com at a family history center.
6. Search ancestor’s local vital records sources for documents.
7. Use Google to search for photos of ancestors. Also ask family members for any photos they have.
8. Use find-a-grave.com to search for burial sites. (GW EXPERIENCE TIP:If you know where some of your ancestors are buried and they are not on find-a-grave, consider contributing to find-a-grave.)
9. Visit local public libraries to search for ancestors who are from my area. 
10. Compile all my documents.
