Hopefully I can put some of my outstanding genealogy issues to bed this year, but I will need to learn more about certain locales (esp TN and TX/OK.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380365344412698845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-82421433146418037042015-01-25T13:26:38.944-08:002015-01-25T13:26:38.944-08:00Anything and everything that has to do with DNA is...Anything and everything that has to do with DNA is at the top of my list :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-12283236906720345442015-01-25T12:07:28.165-08:002015-01-25T12:07:28.165-08:00I both teach and take genealogy classes.

I attend the Contra Costa County Genealogy society meetings and listen to the speakers. I hope to take advanced genealogy at the California Genealogy Society and other classes there as well. I also try to listen to as many webinars as I can.<br /><br />I will team teach a 6 week beginning genealogy twice this year. I will teach a 2 hour introduction to genealogy twice this year as well.

As for education, I've been reading a lot of blogs and I'm trying to learn to use Google Earth as taught by Lisa Louise Cooke. The rest of my time goes to research.

Engs<br /><br /><br />My ratio of research to education is probably 90/10, while I would like to get closer to 75/25 (and don't forget about all the organizing I need to do). My sole purpose to reading Their Patriotic Duty is to educate myself on what life was like in 1860 Brown County, Ohio, where my wife's family settled and remains to this day. Anyone can spend hours and hours researching their genealogy but if you don't educate yourself you can become very inefficient. In a way like you said Randy, I consider it an investment towards the next time I have research in front of me, so I don't miss any of these great opportunities I may have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510983925787760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-60356908189371081462015-01-24T19:52:01.796-08:002015-01-24T19:52:01.796-08:00I've been meaning to post something like this ...I've been meaning to post something like this since January 1st, so thanks for the challenge! I enjoyed reading your list. It reminded me of some things I'm not taking advantage of and introduced me to at least one new resource: Tessa Keough. I'm going to check out one of her videos tonight!Dana Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387705697369311607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-64492276053868156972015-01-24T18:46:30.499-08:002015-01-24T18:46:30.499-08:00As a full time school teacher it's hard to fin...As a full time school teacher it's hard to find time for research, much less education. My focus this year is learning about preserving antique family photos and documents I own. To that end I'm reading some books and websites. I managed to find a free local one day conference and I follow about 15 blogs. I also sponsor a family history club at the middle school where I teach, so I hope I'm contributing to the education of others!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326201879351581078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-22955091100726191392015-01-24T18:35:57.141-08:002015-01-24T18:35:57.141-08:00Here is my response to this SNGF, Randy.
