Marty Weil has a post at ephemera titled Seven Habits of Highly Effective Collectors that easily applies to 'collectors' of family history. At the company I work for, Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People' is required for all salaried employees, so I found Marty's distillation of the seven habits a bit amusing as well as fitting. Also check out his post Ephemera & The Genealogist which highlights the work of Sharon Sergeant at Ancestral Manor.
Be careful when you go to ephemera, you could get 'lost' there like I did... it's a fascinating place.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
