October is Family History Month

October is nationally recognized as Family History Month and it seems prudent to make a goal for the month. Over 2500 local genealogical societies are registered and it is believed that over 80 milllion Americans are researching their families at present.

We could make a goal as simple as helping one other beginner in their own research, reading one of the books that you have purchased or gotten through inter-libary loan throughout the month, tackling one of the long-overdue filing projects stacked up on your desk (guilty as charged!), making the call to Great-Aunt Ethel to get the details about her childhood that you've meant to record for years now, or even writing a simple letter of inquiry to the local church of your great-grandparents about the location of the cemetery or the church records.

Let's each be able to say that we have made a difference in the realm of genealogy during October!
