For the past while — months and months — I’ve run into two main obstacles. The first is making the time for genealogy research. If I don’t have a regular time each week for working on my lines, it generally won’t happen, at least not unless genealogy has a higher priority for me. (And alas, so far it hasn’t. Other endeavors have clambered for attention, successfully.) One of my New Year’s resolutions will be to set aside an hour or so each week for genealogy. Once I get back into the groove, I don’t think it’ll be too hard to keep it up; it’s just a matter of getting started.

The second obstacle is not knowing quite where to start. I’ve done research on two of my lines, but there are hundreds, and it’s hard to know where I ought to start researching. Perhaps the best plan of attack is, I think, to just choose a family and research them. Later on I can develop a better strategy, but for now the random selection (well, hopefully guided by the Spirit :)) seems best.
