I am ready for. . .
a research trip!
I love putting together a “research log” for my searches, making hotel reservations, learning where the records I will need are kept and planning my strategies.
Upon my arrival, I am full of anticipation and hope. I love gathering and collecting everything I
can find. I love crossing off my “to-do”
list and completing items on my “research log”.
I delight in the evenings where I do a quick evaluation of my daily
finds and add to my “to-do” list and “research log.” I love to run across unusual finds and
unique treasures.
I love to walk where they walked, and look at the sights
they looked at and breathe the air they breathed. I love to make believe that they are there
with me helping me research and learn about them and their history. I almost feel like a time traveler on my
research trips; I am here now, looking for those who were there then!
I love the return home to sort through my finds. I love to analyze the documents I found. I love to scour each source surmising
assumptions for further searches and for piecing together my ancestor’s
histories.
I love sharing with family members and on my blog my
finds and my treasures.
I love research trips. . .and I am ready for one!
