Motivation Monday – 2012 Genealogy Goals

I think 2012 is going to be a fabulous year. A lot has happened since I wrote my 2011 goals so I believe 2012 is going to be a year of major changes. Here are my goals.

3. Work on a couple of other book ideas.
4. Continue to blog and write articles for Examiner.com.
5.  Encourage my clients to create family history books. Several are doing this already based on research I am conducting.
