Thursday was not the typical genealogy day - well, other than blogging a lot, I guess!
After reading my email and blogs, I posted about the Ten Essential Books carnival, then I watched some videos on RootsTV and posted about FamilySearch Indexing and digitizing. I read about the Homestead records on Footnote, but had to go to Home Depot for material and to Jimmy's Restaurant for lunch with my Rohr Engineers Retirees group. I was home just after 1 pm.
I posted about the Footnote Homestead records - adding more info than was in the press release. I checked email, blogs and Facebook, then worked a bit on my CG101 presentation. I added three posts to the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe blog, and played with FamilyLink, Geni and WebTree for awhile, seeing how input compares with Footnote Pages. I was dozing at 3:30, so I went in for a nap, read the paper, watch TV, eat dinner, and water the plants.
I came back to the computer at 6:15, and found I could download the September issue of Everton's Genie Helper through my WVR subscription, so I read that for awhile. At 7, I got involved in the TGSG chat with four others about a Donn Devine article in NGSQ about DNA research. That ended at 8:15, and I found that I could access the Newsbank site for 20 newspapers plus the Chula Vista Star-News through my CVPL library card. I found and printed an article about my mother's baby shower - for me! I read my email and blogs, then posted this blog.
