Family history researchers already know the benefits of online research, spending time in isolation engrossed on digitised records online. With unexpected time at home, this could be a good time for some to focus on what you need or want to do with your genealogical research. Here are ideas, some inspired by Cyndi Ingle from Cyndi's List of Genealogical Websites on the Internet which is also worth exploring.
Organise your research
Draft a research plan
Transcribe records
Label your digitised records and photos
Scan photos and documents
Volunteer indexing via FamilySearch
Volunteer for other online projects such as correcting text via Trove
Clean your work space
Watch some webinars or videos on Youtube
Browse or search the catalogue and place a hold or mark "for later" on your next visit to the library
Read a genealogy book or magazine
Interview senior family members
Back up your computer records
Explore a new online resource. YPRL Members can access Gale Historical Archives remotely with your library card
