Why does it take something like getting the stomach bug to get me to start indexing again? I think it is overload. I end up being so tired after work that doing any more family history work, even for myself, is too much.
But I finally did it. I did some FamilySearch Indexing today: The Rhode Island state census and some burial records from England. It felt so satisfying to finish them.
As a genealogy hobbiest in general with a decent background in professional research, I have always been interested in the story behind people. I can't look at a name and a date without thinking about what was going on at the time, how this person may have been affected, and what could I do to find out more. I enjoy nothing more than fleshing out the story of a person. If something doesn't seem right, I pursue it until I know more.
