@geneapleau Miss having time to attend #RootsTech ! Dual work projects should end in July…

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@geneapleau @MarianBWood @leprchaunrabbit Working too hard - where else??? :)

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@geneapleau @Cferra1227 @DigiRoots @VirtualGenAssoc The Internet was made for cat videos. Tonight did not disappoint! :)

@geneapleau @CarolinaGirlGen We had super silly fun doing this! #genchat

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@_genchat #genchat A7: Actually have a plan? ;) AFAIK, no one else ever did, so tat puts me way ahead!! :-D

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@_genchat #genchat A6: Most of my data is already online, so preserving the artifacts is the bigger challenge.

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@_genchat #genchat A4: Really hoping the niece or nephews will show an interest in a few years. <fingers crossed>

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@JoAHenn #genchat Yup, paper is still a technology that crosses generations. :) Why change what's worked for hundreds of years?!?!

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

#genchat A3: Depends. Is it something large and difficult to care for that might be better in professional hands? Or is it something another relative could actually make use of now?

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@_genchat @SeekingSurnames #genchat No binders here at all. Things were digital when I started. The only paper I have is original documents! And they go in something a bit more secure than a binder... ;)

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@MarianBWood #genchat Absolutely! Bite size pieces. Slowly but surely.

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

#genchat A2: Remember that tech changes. Formats that are good today may not be good for the future. Be prepared to upgrade and export.

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@MarianBWood @leprchaunrabbit #genchat Don't be - the names only start in the 1700s, and I am not even sure if they are family! The bible was given to my ggm by her neighbors.

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

#genchat A1: Labels! Identify the people, places, and things! And we like dates, too. :)

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@DigiRoots Been there, done that! It's hard to #genchat from #RootsTech !

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]

@_genchat Yeah, life has been super busy. And for once I am #NotAtRootsTech ! Everything is strange... #genchat

[Kim Jordan | Jordan Clan Genealogy @JordanClanGen]
