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.

My Genealogy Tuesday - 26 April 2016
This was another stay-at-home genealogy day and I had some fun finding more Auble records. Cut the back yard also, and am sore from the effort. Watched the Padres lose again.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Tuesday - 1852 Will of Ichabod Kirby (1782-1857) of Westport, Mass.
* Worked on the Sophia (Auble) (Foster) Hulse problem and got it all sorted out. Absolutely unique information - no one else has done it. Added stuff to FamilySearch Family Tree.
* After lunch, practiced my 10 Free websites talk - took an hour. Good. Wrote FamilySearch Research Wiki Makeover.
* Added more Auble data to the database, checked Facebook. Went out at 3 p.m. to mow the back yard - the grass and weeds were high...spent 90 minutes doing this and it was tiring. I'm in terrible shape. Came in hot and sore, but got it done. Did not take a nap again today.
* Watched TV news, ate dinner, then came in at 6 p.m. to write One More Contribution to SNGF Childhood Memories. Read email, added to the Best Of post, and checked Facebook.
* Went in at 7:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and read my book. Got the presentation on the laptop and the flash drive. Read email, Facebook and blogs. Padres lost to Giants 1-0, so now 7-14 on the season.

My Genealogy Monday - 25 April 2016
It seems like today was several days ago - that's what I get for staying up later than usual.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and then joined Mondays With Myrt. We discussed many topics, including the AncestryDNA change coming, Diane's RI probate list and my work in using it, and my finding that Martha Kirby's will is missing.

* Read, then worked on adding some of Elizabeth Auble's siblings to the database. Had a great time finding records for only one of the siblings, added four more generations. Still have work to do there. Did not take a nap for the first time in weeks. On the hunt! Eventually wrote Making Progress on My Auble cousins - Post 1: Finding Elizabeth's Will.
* Worked some more in the records looking for data on a second sibling of Elizabeth's. Found her probate record, but it wasn't helpful. Checked Elizabeth and other folks on GenealogyBank and Findmypast also. Still need to work in FamilySearch and MyHeritage, and FSFT. Checked Facebook, and answered email.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV and eat dinner, then online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and answer email.
* Went in at 7:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, read my book, check email and Facebook and Feedly on the tablet. Padres lost 5-4 to the Giants so now 7-13.

My Semi-Genealogy Weekend - 23 and 24 April 2016
It was the weekend and I didn't spend it all on genealogy - hey, I have a life, you know. I think...
1) Saturday, 23 April 2016:
* Read email and blogs, noted that Surname Saturday - HATHAWAY (England to colonial New England) posted, and took off at 9 a.m. for the Scripps Ranch library, about 23 miles north.
* got there at 9:30 a.m., got set up, found I left my handouts at home, so emailed the PDF to thel ibrary and they printed them up. Good manager! Gave my Genealogy, Be an Ancestry Detective talk to about 35 folks, and they asked a lot of questions afterwards. Left at noon and home by 12:30 p.m. Had lunch.
* Online for awhile, took a nap, noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Share Your Childhood Memories posted. Checked Facebook. Added to the Best Of post.
* We left at 4 p.m. for the Padres game. Stopped at Pollo Loco for Linda's meal, then the trolley and were there by 5:15 p.m. Had to walk over to get the drinks, then go to Park at the Park to get Linda a different shirt size, and then stood in line twice to get my Big Dog and then ice cream. . Missed two of the first four innings. Padres lost 11-2, but we were ahead 2-1 in the 6th to the Cards. Bullpen fail. Drat - now 7-11. We are 1-3 while in attendance.
* Home by 9:30 p.m. to read, found the Elizabeth Auble will on Ancestry and noted that I don't have everything I need to make sense of that family. This may be fun!
* Genealogy on Saturday was 5.0 hours.
2) Sunday, 24 April 2016:
* Read email on my phone while watching TV, then off to church at 9:30 a.m. and home by 11:30 a.m.
* Wrote the Ancestry and FS posts, then downloaded Elizabeth's probate papers from Ancestry, and started investigating the leads from it. Pretty spotty information available for the folks mentioned.
* Went in at 1:40 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, dozed for about an hour. Padres were ahead 5-3 in the 6th, but Cards won 8-5 as the bullpen failed again. Ate dinner, and watered the front plants. Now 7-12 on the season.
* Online at 6 p.m. to read, note that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 17 to 23 April 2016 and Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of 17 to 23 April 2016 posted. Wrote "The 10 Best FREE Genealogy Websites" Talk on Wednesday, 27 April at CVGS and set it for later.
* Transcribed the Benjamin Sowle will and wrote the Amanuensis Monday post for Monday, then worked some more on the leads from Elizabeth's will.
* Went in at 9 p.m. to watch WDYTYA? An interesting but sad story - the records were interesting. Nice to see a homestead record too.
* Online at 10 p.m. to read, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was only 5.5 hours.

* Online at 2:30 p.m. to read, Worked more on the Hildreth deeds, then found some more and didn't abstract those, but I need to. Checked Facebook, and wrote Dear Randy: How Do You Source Find A Grave Memorials?
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, water the front plants, then watched the Padres game, read the paper, washed dishes, and checked email, blogs and Facebook. Padres lost to Pirates 11-1, so now 6-10 on the season.

My Genealogy Days - 19 and 20 April 2016
Tuesday was a Padres game night, and we got home at midnight, so I didn't journal. Wednesday was a CVGS day, and the Padres game in the evening on TV.
1) Tuesday, 19 April 2016
* Read email and blogs, noted that MyHeritage Launches New Community-Powered Q&A Hub posted, and wrote Treasure Chest Tuesday -- 1828-1830 Receipts from Martha (Soule) Kirby's Heirs.
* Answered email, added to the Best Of post, worked a bit in MyHeritage Community, and resolved 70 Ancestry Hints before I had lunch.
* Worked on the RI Probates and Diane's list, and wrote Using Diane Boumenot's Rhode Island Probate File Index. Took my nap.
* Online at 3:30 p.m. to read, answer email, and add to the Best Of post.
* We left at 5 p.m. for the trolley station, then to Tin Fish for dinner, and in Petco Park for the Padres game by 6:30 p.m. Padres won 5-4 over Pirates in a close but long game - over at 11:15 p.m. Managed to get the 11:30 trolley and home by midnight. In person, we're now 1-2. Didn't journal. Yawn. Genealogy this day was 8.0 hours.
2) Wednesday, 20 April 2016
* Read email and blogs, tired from the late night, wrote Visiting Christchurch #1 -- Post 409 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday and then wrote "Genealogy Roadshow" Premieres May 17 at 8 p.m. on PBS and set it for later.
* Answered email and browsed several sites a bit. Left at 11 a.m. for McDonalds for lunch, then the library for John's group and talked to Mary until 1 p.m. Tried to get a haircut but Dave wasn't there. Home by 1:30 p.m.
* Read, added to the Best Of post, and took my nap. Checked new databases, checked Facebook, and wrote New (?) New Hampshire Birth Certificate Record Collection on FamilySearch.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, and put out the trash. Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, and not much else.
* Watched Padres game at 7:10 p.m., read the paper, then a magazine, and checked stuff on the tablet. Padres are ahead 8-2 in the 9th. Pads now 6-9 on the season, but still in last place in NL West.
* Online to read, add to the Best Of post, and done. Tired. Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.
