What Do I want to know?!

Hey, listen to this. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm doing. I wish more people would admit these sort of things. That's part of what makes us human and relatable to other people.  When I'm researching, I don't always follow the rules. Sometimes I even forget what the rules are and get caught up in the thrill of the hunt totally forgetting to keep track of what I'm doing so I can get back to it later. 

This week, I've had the chance to review techniques as well. I have even mentioned to others how I feel like I'm in a genealogical rut lately.  I've decided it's time for a reset. So let's take a step back for a moment. 

What is the first thing you did when you started research? You decided you wanted to know something about  your family. But WHAT did you want to know?!  That question is going to drive what you do to center your focus. 
What do you want to know? 
How do you already know the things you do know?
Where can you find more information about the things you don't know?

Step back this week and figure out what you want to know. As always, Enjoy your Adventures in Genealogy.
