We're off for Burbank in the morning on the train for the SCGS Jamboree, so this blog will be dark for several days. Check in on Genea-Musings for daily updates of Jamboree activities.
* Read email, blogs and Twitter, and noted that Footnote.com Civil War Collection FREE through June posted while I was asleep. Wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Hannah Richmond's obituary and posted it, then researched and wrote Checking out Footnote.com's Civil War Collection and set it for early afternoon.
* Got cleaned up, and worked in the database some correcting errors and adding sources to events. Had lunch, then packed the laptop case with everything I need (I hope!).
* Worked more in the database, only got K and L done, but got sidetracked on a website with many common ancestors with sources, so checked out a number of common families. Edited comments, added sources, corrected errors, had a grand time and before I knew it, it was 45 p.m.
* Went in to watch Padres game (they lost 3-0 tonight, won 4-2 this afternoon, now 35-25 on season), read paper, eat dinner, then did chores, and packed for trip. Worked more in database.
* Went for a walk while Linda did email, and back at 8:30 p.m. to edit OASIS presentation and syllabus one last time, then printed them out. Copied latest files to USB drive. Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Going to bed early tonight - have to be up at 5 a.m.
Genealogy today was 9.5 hours - 0.5 hour doing email, 0.5 hour reading blogs, 2.0 hours researching and writing blog posts, 0.5 hour on Twitter/Facebook, 1.0 hour on OASIS class, and 4.0 hours working on database and 1.0 hour doing online research.

Randy's Genealogy Day - 8 June 2010
Only 3 more days to Jamboree! This was a stay at home day, and I got a lot done in my database.
* Read email, blogs and twitter, and wrote Getting Ready for SCGS Jamboree and then Book Review: Wanted! U.S. Criminal Records by Ron Arons and set it for noon time.
* Got cleaned up, and worked on the OASIS Class 2 presentation and syllabus. Added some content, especially new websites with significant content. I think it's ready to print.
* Researched and wrote Finding Massachusetts Death Records on FamilySearch Record Search and set it for mid-afternoon. Wrote a post for the weekend.
* Read everything, checked Facebook, worked in database on the Knowlton family line. I have pretty much what everyone else has on this family, at least that's in print and online. And it is not much, and not especially well done.
* Went in at 4 p.m. to read the paper, watch the Padres game, take a nap, eat dinner, read my book, and do the dishes. The Padres lost 2-1 in the 11th (now 34-24).
* Back online at 7:15 p.m. to read everything, answered some email, and worked on database, doing P through R error corrections - almost finished it. Lots of Richman entries with baptisms and burials in England - added birth and death dates/places based on that information. also lots of duplicates after I merged my databases. Major surgery still needed!

Randy's Genealogy Day - 5 June 2010
It was an interesting genealogy day, and I got one more task completed.
* Read email before I got cleaned up and went off to breakfast at 8 a.m. with my church men's study group, then got waylaid by Ruth and Susi at another table. Home by 10 a.m.
* Read email, blogs, and wrote Surname Saturday - WHITNEY (England > MA) and then wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Feeling Lucky? and set it for after noon.
* Found great info in the Whitney Research Group wiki, and compared their data to mine. They had some source citations that I needed, so I checked on data for all of my Whitney families, cleaned up my notes a bit, added some source citations to my database, and realized I missed lunch again. Had a bite or two at 1:30!
* Researched and wrote Using Branches Genealogy Software - Post 4: Using the Help Function and set it for late afternoon.
* Went in at 3:30 p.m. to help with chores, then watched Padres game, read the paper, and at 5:15 we took food over to Bill's house and watched the end of the game there (Pads lost 6-2, drat). Back home at 6:15, we had dinner and I did more chores.
* Back online at 7 p.m., worked on CVGS emails for awhile, checked Facebook, then worked on CVGS newsletter. Got it done. Then worked on the Best of blog post for Sunday and wrote this post.

Randy's Genealogy Day - 4 June 2010
Sort of the blogging fool today, although I had a good time at George's house in the afternoon, the Padres lost, and I worked on the CVGS newsletter all evening.

Randy's Genealogy Day - 3 June 2010
Stayed home all day and worked on several projects - and finished some of them! And started two others, but that's my genealogy life it seems.

Randy's Genealogy Day - 2 June 2010
The first decent genealogy day in a week - was having withdrawal! Now having withdrawal from grandchild exposure. Sad but not as tiring. The memories are great. Looked longingly at the "field of concrete" where the boys and I played ball all week.
* Read email, blogs and Twitter, and posted (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 105: Betty and her Dolly and then wrote What is the Best Place to leave "Cousin Bait?" and set it for later in the morning.
* Got cleaned up, printed out CVGS board stuff and went to McDonalds for lunch, then the bank and then the library.
* Sat through CVGS Board meeting until 2:20 p.m., then went to "lunch" with Gary, Ruth and Ginny - had a Hi-C punch drink. Home by 3:30 p.m.
* Read everything, went in and took a nap, had a headache, watched the news, put out trash cans, ate dinner, and filled the bird feeder.
* Back online at 6:15 p.m. with hopes of hours working in my database. Nope - downloaded update of Branches and worked with it for awhile, resulting in posting Using Branches Genealogy Software - Post 1. I'm not ecstatic about it - needs some work.
* Wrote Genealogy Days in Chula Vista - June 2010 on the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe blog. Checked Facebook, then wrote this post. Done!
Genealogy today was 8.5 hours - 0.5 hour doing email, 0.5 hour reading blogs, 0.5 hour on Facebook/Twitter, 2.0 hours in Branches software, 2.5 hours writing blog posts, and 2.5 hours in CVGS Board meeting.

Randy's Family History Day - 1 June 2010
The house is still tonight, no little boys running or shouting, no big girls talking or reading, just one tired grandma sleeping and one tired grandpa typing. It was a really fun week.
* Up early, played with boys off and on all morning. Managed to post Daniel Horowitz is coming to town in a quiet moment just before going out to play baseball in the driveway. Many home runs, and grandpa chased every one of them.
* Got cleaned up, got the boys lunch, played Monopoly (Lucas won...we think - a six day marathon game), then Tami and the grandgirls came to see Lori and the boys, and it was bedlam for an hour. Lori packed up and we went off to the airport at 2:15. Was home by 3:30 after stopping at the library to return 15 books.
* Read new Internet Magazine issue, and wrote June/July 2010 Issue of Internet Genealogy Available. Played with Audrey a bit after she woke up. Then it was off to dinner at Panera with Tami and the girls, we were home by 6:45 p.m. Watered the front plants. Watched the Padres game (we lost 4-2 to Mets, we're now 31-21).
* Read everything, checked Facebook, wrote this post. Done!!
Genealogy today was all of 3.0 hours - 0.5 hour doing email, 0.5 hour reading blogs, 1.0 hours writing blog posts, and 1.0 hour reading Internet Genealogy magazine.
