30x30 Challenge: January

Hosted by Janine Adams at Organizing Your Family History, the "30x30" challenge is, in brief, to do something genealogically-related for 30 minutes over 30 days in January.  See Janine's blog post for more details and to signup.

I'm using this space to keep myself accountable.  I'll list the day (and bolded if complete), a short note of what I did, and the time used (in italics, which will be very rough estimates).  If I don't get to anything that day (and I'm sure there will be those days!), it will be left blank (and not bolded).
