My Geneaholic Monday - 29 February 2016

This was an interesting February, starting with the FHL and RootsTech, and the news about FTM, RootsMagic, Ancestry, Findmypast, MyHeritage and more.

*  Read email and blogs, noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 309: 1807 Will of Amos Plimpton (1735-1808) of Medfield, Mass. posted.

*  Joined Mondays With Myrt and briefly discussed the MyHeritage Record Detective technology.

*  Worked on the seminar presentations and handouts and got them finished.  Worked on the OASIS presentations and handouts and finished two of them.  Took my nap.

*  Online at 3 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, note that New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - February 21 to 27, 2016 posted, and write  RootsWeb is Down? Well, not all of It.  Wrote 10 Million Irish Catholic Parish Records Free Forever on Findmypast!

*  Answered email, checked Facebook, and checked for new databases.  Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, read the paper, water the front plants, and wash dishes.  Did Facetime with Tami and kids.

*  Online at 7 p.m. to talk to Lori, then work in Ancestry on Hints, which went down, so worked through the So into the St surnames adding content and sources.

*  Read, added to the Best Of post, and checked Facebook.  Wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 11.0 hours.
