My Genealogy Sunday and Monday - 10-11 April 2016

I was too tired to journal last night...notm uch to report anyway.

1)  Sunday, 10 April 2016:

*  Read email and blogs on my tablet, then off to church at 9:30 a.m.  Home by 11:30 a.m.

*  Wrote the FamilySearch and Ancestry update posts.  Noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 3 to 9 April 2016 posted. 

*  Went in at 1 p.m. to eat lunch, watch the Padres game and read the paper.  Padres lost to Rockies 6-3, so now 2-4 on the season.

*  Online at 4 p.m. to read, check Facebook, noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 3 to 9 April 2016 posted.  Wrote the Amanuensis Monday post.

*  Went in at 5:30 p.m. for dinner, watch TV news.  Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, then add to the Best Of post, and try to work on Ancestry Hints but the system was down for me. Worked in FamilySearch Family Tree instead.

*  Went in at 9 p.m. to watch WDYTYA, then online at 10 to read email, Facebook and blogs.  Genealogy this day was 7.0 hours.

2)  Monday, 11 April 2016:

*  Read email and blogs, then joined Mondays With Myrt.  I discussed the Ancestry probate indexes again and the MyHeritage book matching.

*  Edited the CVGS newsletter, printed it out, and sent it via email.  Noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 315: 1755 Will of Robert Kirby (1674-1757) of Dartmouth, Mass. and Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of 3 to 9 April 2016 posted.

*  Went in at 12 noon to eat lunch, watch the Padres game, napped a bit, and read the paper.  Pads won 4-3 over Phillies, so now 3-4 on the season.  

*  Took the CVGS newsletter to UPS Store and made copies and sent them out.  

*  Online at 3 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, answer email, and wrote Some Ancestry.com's Massachusetts Wills and Probate Records Waypoints are Wrong.

*  Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner, and watch TV news.  Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, then worked in Suffolk County, Mass. wills looking for ancestors - found some and captured the wills.  Need to check the Suffolk indexes and estate files.  

*  Worked on Ancestry Hints - resolved 136 of them, adding content and sources to the database.  Checked Facebook, and wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 9.5 hours.
