I cannot believe that 2017 is over! I am afraid to run over my statistics as I am not convinced it was my most productive year. And it has nothing to do with lack of ideas\u2014rather schedule issues I would say. My non-genealogy job keeps me very busy.<\/p>\n
Well, the past is the past! After having caught up with my sleep, let’s focus on planning the new year.<\/p>\n
First\u2014The Fun Stuff\u2014Blogging<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I will start blogging again\u2014I have to be realistic though. I thought about it a lot and I have decided to blog once a week, on Wednesdays. I might cheat a little and deliver more than expected but still I prefer to publish on a regular basis rather than spending weeks without doing so because I am behind.<\/p>\n Second\u2014The Research<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You might be surprised to learn that it has been months since I have done any research. Well, that dry spell has ended and I happened upon original material that I feel is quite entertaining. Some Montr\u00e9al newspapers have now been indexed on BAnQ Website and I have unearthed some interesting articles.<\/p>\n Third\u2014The Usual Suspects<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The Bangles<\/em>\u2014I have some minor leads on hand that I will keep on looking into it. And I will continue, of course, to publish posts about that family.<\/p>\n The Tourvilles<\/em>\u2014I plan to list all notary records I can locate regarding our family, starting with the first generations. I will have to tackle paleography more seriously. That should be fun!<\/p>\n The Vermont Project<\/em>\u2014So many documents found, so much work to do! The interest is still there, do not worry.<\/p>\n Special Projects<\/em>\u2014I am working on a mystery person in the St. Louis\/Jersey County, IL area connected to the Tourvilles. It is a fascinating story which I hope to share with you soon.<\/p>\n Fourth\u2014The Research Trips<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n No research trip planned yet. We will see how it goes. I intend to spend some time right here at home, at BAnQ (Quebec Archives) and eventually, at Library and Archives Canada, in Ottawa.<\/p>\n Fifth\u2014The Wishes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I want to wish you all the best for 2018. May all your plans and projects turned into reality and fulfill your dreams. I hope you enjoyed precious moments with family and friends, that’s the time of the year they listened to genealogists!<\/p>\n Best,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cannot believe that 2017 is over!
