These last few weeks were very challenging! First, I learned that it is very difficult to do a group project with people that are on the other side of the world. Connecting in different time zones is very difficult.
I was very overwhelmed with the assignment and made it much more difficult that it actually was. Navigating RootsMagic was a challenge, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite exciting.
I also made searching for records much more difficult than it was. Once you find a record in FamilySearch, it is amazing how many more records were coming up and how easy it was to track the family through census records.
The tender mercy is that I figured it out!! I was so overwhelmed in the beginning and then so happy with myself when it all came together. I was ready to give up genealogy work and then got excited and want to search for another family.
I am looking forward to gaining more knowledge and more skills going forward. Line upon line, precept on precept. It is not necessary to run before you can walk.
