Take time out from your genealogy research this week and spend some time documenting your family history quest. Most of us spend countless hours documenting our ancestors, but spend little time on documenting our own lives. Start a genealogy journal and take notes on your cemetery visits, travels, phone calls, and other family history research efforts for others to learn from later. Include correspondence and details on new-found cousins. Write down stories of your great "finds" and "happy dances," as well as shattering disappointments when yet another research lead takes you to a dead end. Your passion for family history will be an inspiration to future generations and you will have a fun reminder of a very rewarding hobby!
