I have been doing some thinking about my genealogical priorities at this stage of my life. Here’s my personal list:

• Preserve any photos or other paper ephemera that has not already been preserved.
• Identify people in photos as much as possible.
• Document stories I have about any personal family history items (furniture, jewelry, books, recipes, etc.).
• Write down my own stories and personal memories
• Write up “solutions” I have to ancestral problems that have not been written up. Preserve those.

Notice that more research is not on this list.

Your list may vary. But consider making a list and working towards accomplishing those tasks.
