Saturday Night Fun Genealogy Survey
1) Answer these questions in my survey about genealogy resources and usage:
a) Which genealogy software programs for your computer do you use (e.g., Family Tree Maker, Reunion, GRAMPS, etc.)?
I have Ancestral Quest since version 1, version 14 here now.
b) Which online family trees have information submitted by you - in either a separate online tree (e.g., Ancestry Member Tree) or a universal (collaborative) online tree (e.g., WikiTree)?
The Family Tree on Rootsweb, which is also on Family Search today.
c) For which subscription genealogy record providers (e.g., Ancestry) do you have a subscription?
World Vital Records
d) Which FREE genealogy record providers (e.g., FamilySearch) do you use regularly?
Family Search, RootsWeb, and the Washington State Digital Archives a lot.
e) How much time do you spend each week doing actual genealogy research online? [Note: not reading, or social networking, but actual searching in a record provider]. Estimate an average number of hours per week.
Probably an hour a week
f) How much time do you spend each week doing actual genealogy research in a repository (e.g., library, archive, courthouse, etc.)? Estimate an average number of hours per month over, say, a one year period.
Two to three hours a week at the library or courthouse.
g) How much time do you spend each week adding information to your genealogy software program (either on your computer or online)? Estimate an average number of hours per week over, say, a one month period.
probably about ten minutes a week on a monthly average
h) How much time do you spend each month at a genealogical society meeting, program or event (not a seminar or conference)? Estimate an average number of hours per month over, say, a one year period.
About four hours a month (we do not meet in July or August so zero those months)
i) How much time do you spend each month on genealogy education (e.g., reading books and periodicals, attending seminars, conferences, workshops, webinars, etc.)? Estimate an average number of hours per month over, say, a one year period.
A couple of hours a month
j) How much time do you spend each week reading, writing and commenting on genealogy blogs, websites, and social media? Estimate an average number of hours per week over, say, a one month period.
