It’s springtime in the Northern Hemisphere. Time to get
serious about plans for research trips. Of course, these kinds of trips can take
place at most times of the year but they seem to multiply as the weather warms
up.
Plans are coming together for a research trip that I am
fitting around a genealogy conference. I will be heading out for that
conference in the near future. My preparation for the trip is getting a bit
confused because I am also doing prep for a trip that I will taking about a
year from now. The problem is, I think, that the trips will be to different countries
and I will be doing research on different family lines in each place.
For the next series of posts, I will draw stories from the
family lines which ended up in Ontario. That way I can concentrate on what I
know about those lines and the research questions I hope to answer in the near
future. Laying the groundwork by checking out museum and archive holdings and
the places where ancestors once lived is the best way that I know to feel the
magic of genealogy travel. It is amazing what can be found when taking research on the road.
