| Dear Fellow Genealogist,
September has a way of feeling like a reset. As Summer starts to wind down, the first hints of fall begin to creep in and suddenly it feels like the perfect time to get back to the projects we might have ignored while the weather was nicer.
For genealogists, the beginning of this month is the perfect excuse to start "falling into family history" with a few fresh research goals. Plus, autumn means we can finally justify staying inside with census records again!
In today's newsletter, we highlight five genealogy activities to tackle this September, from recording memories to researching ancestral homelands. We also share seven steps for preserving and saving family photos, plus over 28 tips for conducting the best family history interviews. A perfect seasonal reset for your family history: save the photos, have the conversations and pick up the research where you left off.
Looking forward to cooler days and scrolling through many record sets,
— Katharine, Digital Editor of Family Tree Magazine
