My genealogy day - 14 December 2012

It was a stay-at-home day with sporadic  rain showers, and cold - it didn't get above 58F.

*  Read email and blogs, then wrote Follow-Up Friday - Interesting and Helpful Reader Comments. Researched for awhile, then wrote "Genealogies" Replaces "Trees" on FamilySearch Home Page.

*  Did some online shopping for Christmas.  Got boardwalk passes for the boys.

*  Found the missing England census records on FindMyPast.com for Rich and Richman, and captured the images, added the media, and crafted source citations for them.  Added them to the research logs. 

*  Worked with the free trial Charting Companion program for awhile - it's not as good as I hoped. Deleted plenty of Alt. Birth and Alt. death events from Vaux and related persons.  Made a report - 11 pages of alt. births!

*  Answered some emails.  Checked Facebook, then wrote the Surname Saturday post and the two Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories posts.

*  Worked in the AMT scraping Mass Town records and ignoring other hints.

*  Went in for dinner at 5:30 p.m., then watched TV news until 6:30.

*  Online to read, then watched Mary Hill's webinar on Legacy.  Pretty good - I loved how she went from one record to another for one person...although she should have worked backwards IMHO.

*  Worked in MyHeritage record searches - did 20 SSDI entries and 11 FAG entries, adding content and sources.  

*  Added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post.
