My genealogy day - 31 January 2013

This was a stay at home, do genealogy type of day, and I actually got some real research done!

*  After reading email and blogs, wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - 1850 U.S. Census Record for Daniel Spangler Family.  

*  Worked in New York Deeds for Erie County the rest of the morning - found more deeds for Amos Underhill and some for Samuel Vaux.  Captured the images, renamed them, sourced the events, and added to the research logs.  

*  Answered some email, then wrote Watch Out for Dates in Mocavo Trees after cousin Bonnie told me of the problem.  This was fixed pretty quickly by Mocavo and I added to my post.

*  More email came in so I wrote RootsTech 2013 Keynote Speakers Will Be... and   Huntington Beach Genealogy BASH is 2 March 2013 and set it for later.

*  Did some online searching and added events and sources to the database for awhile.

*  Went in for dinner after 5 p.m. to read the paper, eat dinner, watch TV news and wash the dishes.

*  Online again at 6:45 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write CVGS Research Group meeting had its picture taken...  Checked Facebook too.

*  Worked in the database adding content and sources - solved several mysteries using AmericanAncestors and Massachusetts VR books online.  Then used the Find A Grave record matches to confirm 16 more matches, adding content and sources.

*  Genealogy today was 11.0 hours.
