It has taken me a while (years actually) but I'm finally tackling some of the genealogy reading material that has gathered into stacks and piles while I promised myself that I would get to it later. It seems that later is now. I'm tackling not only the many genealogy magazines that I bought but never read over the years but also the genealogy society newsletters from the days when societies used to issue them in physical booklets. Didn't read those either.
The newsletters are fast reads, mostly dealing with events long past and member stories that I can now ignore as they don't fit into my research areas. The genealogy magazines are a different story. While I blithely skip over letters to the editor or new of genealogy gatherings long past, some of the articles contain information that does fit into the history I am searching or gives advice about using research facilities that could be of help in my searches. Hopefully the advice given isn't hopelessly outdated.
I'm not sure how long this project will take but I'm looking forward to the piles and stacks dwindling as my knowledge increases.
