Well, the games are over and it is time for the final results. Unfortunately, work priorities took a precedence this past week so I didn’t get as much done as I hoped; however, considering these were my first Geneablogger Games, I’m quite pleased with the end results.
Here is my final progress report for the categories I participated in:
1. Go Back and Cite Your Sources!
Cited 21 sources in my database. Did not achieve the Gold that I was aiming for, but it has gotten me started.
Results: 1 Bronze Medal, 1 Silver Medal
2. Back Up Your Data!
Totally wiped out in this field!
Results: Zippo!
3. Organize Your Research!
Task E – Completed 21 data entries in my database. Was aiming for a Diamond and ended up with a Bronze.
Results: 1 Bronze Medal
4. Expand Your Knowledge!
I did fairly well in this category.
Task A - Used Google Maps to map out my great grandfather’s ancestral location.
Task B - Created a timeline for my great grandfather.
Task E - Created a surname visualization.
Results: 1 Bronze Medal, 1 Silver Medal, 1 Gold Medal
5. Write, Write, Write!
Task C – Prepared two posts in draft mode and pre-published them (and it actually worked!).
Task D – Wrote a biographical sketch of my maternal grandfather.
Task E - Created two pages on my blog, one listing the surnames I’m researching and one showing awards that I have been given.
Task F - Participated in a 52 Weeks to Better Genealogy Challenge #7.
Results: 1 Bronze Medal, 1 Silver Medal, 1 Gold Medal, 1 Diamond Medal
6. Reach Out & Perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness!
Task A – Commented on several new (to me) genealogy blogs.
Task G – Used the Follow feature on a Blogger-based genealogy blog.
Results: 1 Bronze Medal, 1 Silver Medal
Total medals earned for these games:
