With my goals nicely in progress, I feel like it’s time to start brainstorming what I want to accomplish in my genealogy life next year.

Some Possible Genealogy Goals for 2013:

·         Update Dukes of Mixager.  Yes, there are already updates.

·         Work on the Shelton line- I’d like to documentation each generation.

·         Get complete documentation to Miles Price.  Not sure what I don’t have, but I’m sure it’s something.

·         Write a book about Miles Price.

·         Take two classes each quarter with National Institute of Genealogical Studies.

·         Work on my genealogy database- I want to get it moved to RootsMagic, but by hand.  I would like to start with me and work my way back manually and so I will start with my Conner and Konst/Kunst lines (and Shelton while I work on that line).

·         Rebuild Capa in Google Earth
