The first week of the Do-Over has been productive. I've decided the basics for the new file. File naming, forms, storage and anything to do with basic research. Everything is neat and waiting for data. I have started renaming documents and photos already. I'm not really in a hurry as I can rename them as I work on the new file. My folder naming will remain the same system, as it has worked well for me in the past. I have used Folder Marker for a long time and colored my folders the same as I use in my RootsMagic to mark families. My files, documents and photos, are getting a new system. I didn't come up with it. Diane Ritchie showed her naming system in the Facebook group Genealogy Do-Over and I adopted it with minor changes. I'm happy with it.
I also watched Dear Myrtle's Beginning Genealogy Study Group.(YouTube link) I really enjoyed it. I will try to get to all of them. I had enjoyed Mondays With Myrt as well this week. You can see Mondays with Myrt on YouTube as well, or check the DearMyrtles's Genealogy Community on Google+. I don't really know how to link to that one.
I am feeling better but the Do-Over has me excited again about my research. I have needed that in a big way. I feel it has been a good start on week number one!
This is my journey through life. Talking about genealogy, family, creating and recording my personal history, wholeness, and all the things that come in life.
