My Genealogy Thursday - 31 December 2015

This is it for 2015.  Happy New Year!  2015 was a pretty good year for me in genealogy.  I'm still under the weather with sniffles and cough.

*  Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday Post 294: Birth Record of Sarah Reed (1736-1809) in Sudbury, Mass.  Talked to Aaron about RootsTech on the phone.

*  Researched and wrote Top 40 Most Popular Posts on Genea-Musings In 2015.  

*  Had lunch, then went off to the post office and library, and was home by 1:45 p.m.  Read, checked Facebook, then took a nap.

*  Online at 3:15 p.m., Answered email, then worked on the Norman Seaver biography.  

*  Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, read the paper.  

*  Online at 6:45 p.m. to read, then took Linda to Barb's at 7:15 p.m. for a party.  Checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, and worked in Ancestry Hints, clearing the last 125 or so.  

*  Wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.
