No new snow yet! But, we are going sledding tomorrow. You're probably wondering how there can be enough snow to go sledding if there isn't enough snow to build a snowman. Well, we are going out to the farm that my husband (C) manages. It is full of hills and has more snow than we have here in the city. C's sister and her husband and daughter are coming as well as my sister (M) and her three boys. The kids are so excited. A great way to spend a day off of school!
I have another goal! I participate in Family Search Indexing. And I love it! I have a lot of family history information, that is very unorganized (that's a goal for when my kids are older). I also have a desire to participate in family history in some way. Family Search Indexing is how I've been able to fulfill that desire. Millions upon millions of records are out there waiting to be found. Birth certificates, marriage license, obituaries, etc. You can choose from a list of projects, each project is different. They even have a system to help insure accuracy. Two separate people index the records, then a third person compares the two and decides what is right if the first two don't agree. You simply take the names, dates, etc. on the image and type them into the appropriate fields. If you are interested in helping others, and maybe even yourself, find their ancestors, I highly recommend you try indexing.

In 2012 I enjoyed completing 2025 names, the goal was 2012, but you can't just stop in the middle of a batch! Jan
