My Genealogy Day - 30 April 2016

This was a good genealogy day although I got nothing done on my family tree.

*  Read email and blogs, then noted that Surname Saturday -- MOTT (England to colonial New England) posted and wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Lifespans of Your 2nd Great Grandparents and set it for later.

*  Watched the Mike Mansfield webinar on MyHeritage book matching, and worked in the book matches for awhile.

*  We ate lunch, then left at 12:15 for the Chula Vista library for the Mark Olsen program for CVGS.  The program was excellent, and everybody learned something I think.  We were home by 3:30 p.m.

*  Read, added to the Best Of post, and checked Ancestry for Hints, and then MyHeritage looking at some record matches.  Got sleepy.

*  Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV, took a nap in the recliner, we ate dinner, then watched the Padres game.  Padres won 5-2 over dodgers for second straight win - now 9-15.  Read my book, and checked email, blogs and Facebook on the tablet.

*  Online at 9:20 p.m. to read, then wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.
