2020 is in the rearview window. But what does 2021 look like? For me, it is still too full of unknowns. So I am only planning what I can reasonably expect to do from home until more is known and settled.

In the meantime, we’ve made the move back to Colorado and are in the process of buying a new home….so we will be moving again. But for the last time for a long time I hope.
I have some speaking plans for 2021, all virtual at this point. Click here to go to my speaking calendar.
The biggest project I have on my plate is teaching a newly revised and restructured course at GRIP this summer on the Great Lakes Region. I will also be teaching in Paula Stuart Warren’s course as well. All of the information on GRIP courses can be found on the GRIP website.
If you have “tackle writing citations” on your genealogical resolutions list, you might consider taking my study group based on Tom Jones’s book Mastering Genealogical Documentation. This is a seven-week study group that goes through the book together and discusses some of the exercises in the book. We have two sessions, daytime with Cyndi Ingle (of Cyndi’s List) or evening with me. More information on that course can be found here. Or click on “Services” at the top of this page, then “Classes and Study Groups” and then after browsing all of the study groups we are offering, find Mastering Genealogical Documentation toward the bottom of that page.
I hope we all find 2021 a better year!
Welcome back to Colorado! I live in the foothills outside of Denver.
I have to say that, after the events of today, staying physically safe in a world gone mad is my plan for 2021. Other than that, I hope to press on with our NGSQ class, work on more narrative for family history and explore more cemeteries (hopefully with cousins). We had lots of plans to get together after the vaccine becomes available.
do you have any experience, knowledge or advice about the free Zotero software used for citations?
No, I don’t. I have never used it. I’m sure there are some other blogs, videos, or webinars about that subject.
