My Genealogy Wednesday - 31 July 2013

It was a pretty busy genealogy day - let's see if I can remember everything I did!

*  Read email and blogs, wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 267: My Mother and Grandmother in 1930 and then SDGS Seminar on Saturday, 21 September 2013.

*  Answered the Find A Grave message about Henry Carringer's gravestone, then had lunch and went off to the library for the CVGS program.

*  Had some snacks at the CVGS meeting, talked to the scholarship recipient, then the business meeting and Karen gave her talk on "Women Heroes of the Revolution."  Good job!

*  Got a book, and home to watch the end of the Padres game.  Pads lost 4-1 to Reds (won 6 of 8, now 50-59).

*  Online at 3:40 p.m. to read, then wrote Nice Surprise - A Find A Grave Photo Request Fulfilled.  Added the images to my database, added more fact notes.  

*  Watched the first part of the Applegate WDYTYA? episode, then went in for dinner, and back after dinner and chores to watch the rest.  Lots of unanswered questions!

*  Added more Fact Notes to the database, even found some old papers that need scanning, and then worked in the database adding sources and facts.  Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post.

Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.
