This weekend was pretty low key for me. My family is in another state, so there was no big Easter celebration.
I worked on my RootsMagic database. This is the one that I started from scratch, where every fact has a source. How is it going? Slowly but surely.
I've been concentrating on the 16 great-great grandparents and their various offspring. This weekend I worked on census facts for these people. I also added some Arkansas marriage records thanks to FamilySearch.org.
The work doesn't provide immediate results, but I can see a really strong tree forming. When I play with the report features, I'm impressed. When I look at a person's profile and see the row of check marks telling me I have sources and citations for each fact, I am happy.
My database be a good product. It will never be complete, but it's on its way to being awesome.
Well done, Amy - it sounds like you had a satisfying weekend. I've been working on my first-ever presentation which is on Thursday as my family aren't "big" on Easter
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you. I've considered going back to do that. Great concept - sounds like great execution, as well.

Amy, I like what you are doing with you "from scratch" RootsMagic database. I have started a similar project with my data. You last two sentences ("My database [will] be a good product. It will never be complete, but it's on its way to being awesome.")
