Here are my New Year’s Resolutions for 2009:

1. Finish researching and finish writing my essay on Colonial Office records for NSW of the 19th Century in the Australian Joint Copying Project for my Diploma of Family Historical Studies

2. Work out the questions I want to answer by researching in Auckland (deadline for this one is in 10 days)

3. Finish tracing all the land my grandfather and his father and uncles owned so that I have start and end dates for each portion

4. Write something in this blog at least once per month

5. Go back to early-2008 levels of sugar consumption

I may add more in the next couple of days…
