My genealogy day - 1 September 2011

It was a decent genealogy day - the clock is ticking towards the FGS Conference, and I still have lots to do to prepare for that.

*  Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Amy Oatley's 1865 Death Certificate.

*  Got cleaned up, and tested the car's lights.  Not good. Drive down to the repair shop and left it, and walked the mile home uphill and downhill.  Uphill was hard, I stopped at Bjorn's to catch my breath and catch up with him.

*  Back to work, looked in the BLM GLOrecords site and found that Leland and Natvig did not get a land patent in Dane County - good to know.  Made my hotel reservation for RootsTech too.

*  Saw Archives.com announcement, so researched and wrote Archives.com has 1790 to 1930 U.S. Census Records and then saw the email that came in an hour earlier.  Had lunch.

*  Wrote Searching Census Records on Archives.com and then Content from SmallTownPapers and Gannett Leaving Fold3.  Answered several emails.

*  Decided I'd better do something useful, so worked on my Source Reference List for Seaver - got the E to R segment done, only S to Z to go.  We went down at 4 to pick up the car - the lights seem to work OK.

*  Went in at 5:30 to eat dinner on the patio.  Online again at 6:15 to edit the CVGS Newsletter.  Wrote New FamilySearch Historical Collections - August 2011, and added it to the newsletter.  Got it about 90% done, waiting for Susi again. 

*  Recalled that the Chargers were playing, so went in at 7:30 to watch some of it.  Ho hum.  Watched more of it and read my book - almost done.

*  Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and Google Plus, and wrote this post.

Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.  Six blog posts...no research...some progress toward goals.
