Genealogy Do-Over - March 2018

I am taking part in the Genealogy Do-Over this year. 

The Genealogy Do-Over tasks for March are:

1. Conducting Self-Interview
2. Conducting Family Interviews

1. Conducting Self-Interview

I decided to use Evernote to record my self-interview. I wrote down my own knowledge of the dates and places of events in my own life. 

For example, I recorded:

• Birthdate and place
• Catholic Sacrament dates and places (Baptism, First Confession, First Communion, Confirmation)
• Education - dates and places
• Residences - dates and places
• Hospitalisations - dates and places
• Hobbies

2. Conducting Family Interviews

I created a Family Group Sheet template in Evernote, and then created one for my immediate family. I filled in the information from my own knowledge.

• My next step is to interview my Mum and check if her knowledge of dates and places for our family correlates with my own. 
• Then I need to create a Family Group Sheet for each of my siblings' families. 
• I have also asked my Mum to fill in Family Group Sheet for her parents and siblings. 

Here is an example of a Family Group Sheet from the US National Archives.
