Beth,
As for figuring this all out, I have a plan.
First, I am grabbing every document that potentially could be helpful on Ancestry.com and MyHeritage so I can transition away from “collecting hints” on those two platforms. The number of documents I already have means I’m making good progress. I think I shared some summary numbers with you. I’m almost done with this part of the plan.
Second, the Fantastic Four have given me what I need to take the project to a new level. I needed the right surnames and specific geographical locations. Your network of friends has provided both. Thank you!
Third, some books and courses will teach me how to access the online databases in the Czech Republic and Europe. The answer exists, and I’m determined to find it.
I was briefly disappointed because I thought we were closer than we are. What we have found is extraordinary and will make for a great story to tell.
As to the workload, I’m overwhelmed myself. I forgot to mention the photo and document scanning project. That will be huge also. I think you can better understand now why I cried, “Uncle.” I really needed to reset the publication date. My mental and physical health were in jeopardy. Lol.
More importantly to me is the desire to keep this fun. The November 3rd date will help me tremendously.
I may take a sabbatical. A week, not a month, not a year. 🙂
