Week 5 2022: Branching Out #52Ancestors

This week’s prompt from Amy is not what I need to do.[1] 

As someone with way too many UFOs, the last thing I need is to find more projects to do.[2] 

So here is a partial project list for 2022:

  • Finish the Baty DNA study.[3]

  • Finish organization of my digital photos.

  • Take the German on-line handwriting course I have already signed up for.

  • Disprove the connection of our John Lowe to the Denby Lowes.

  •  Re-organize my book on the World War I letters from William Mills and re-publish.

  •  Get and analyze the Maryland property records for Henry Hawkins (1627-1699).

  •  Sort out all those eighteenth century Applebys in Staffordshire, England.

Branch out? No way! “Dig in” is more like it.

[1] I did try to come up with something fitting this week’s theme. Sorry for the kvetching.  

[2] My good friend Anne, a quilter extraordinaire, uses this phrase in reference to her myriad of quilting projects: Un-Finished Objects. Works for me.

[3] Yeah, that was on my list in 2019, 2020, and 2022. Ugh.
