We got the Cox TV and computer installed today. The technology has improved significantly over 5 years ago. We were able to use the cable from the street into the house for both TV and computer which saved a lot of time.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post and noted that 52 Ancestors - Week 284: #482 Jacobus Jillise Van Vorst (1703-1797) of Schenectady, New York posted. Wrote New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 28 June 2019 and set it for later.
* Cox guy showed up and was pretty efficient. Computer connected in like 30 minutes, TVs connected within 30 minutes. A telephone problem - the order was wrong to keep our number, so we have to wait several days before canceling AT&T.
* Had lunch, added to the Best Of post, and took a nap. Online to write Genealogy News Bytes - 28 June 2019. Checked Twitter and Facebook. Wrote the Surname Saturday post.
* Went in at 5:30 to eat dinner and watch TV news, then online to read and wrote the SNGF post.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper and then my book, washed dishes. Padres won 3-1 over the Cards so finished the first half 41-40. Need to go 50-31 to make the playoffs, I think.

* Picked her up and we went to the grocery store. Home by 9:40 a.m. to find the hillside partly done already.
* Online to read, then wrote New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 14 June 2019. Worked on the second presentation adding another 20 slides. Still have al ot of notation and clarifying to do. Feeling like I will have the two talks ready in four weeks now.
* Tried to nap, then had lunch, and worked a bit on Ancestry ThruLines. The hillside guy finished and I paid him off. Looks OK, difficult to trim a hillside. Wrote Genealogy News Bytes - 14 June 2019 and checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Laid down again and napped. Online at 4:15 p.m. to read, answer email, and wrote the Surname post.
* Went in at 5:20 p.m. to eat dinner, read the paper, then my book, and watched the Padres game. A 5 hour game, 12 innings, with the Pads coming from behind (down 11-4 after 7) to tie it in the 9th and win it in the 12th 16-12. Padres now 34-36 on the season.
* Did not journal because it was almost 11 p.m. Genealogy this day was 7.5 hours.

* Home by 10:45 a.m., noted that Surname Saturday - GAWKROGER (England to colonial Massachusetts) posted, and wrote the SNGF post, and then the FamilySearch and Ancestry posts.
* Had lunch, then worked in Pennsylvania Death Certificates Hints on Ancestry - resolved about 120 of them. 360 to go.
* Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Favorite Photo of Your Father posted. Answered email, made several Seaver family reports and sent them to correspondents. Took a nap.
* Online at 4:15 p.m., poked around in Connecticut Wills and Probates and found two interesting Seaver estates - one mentioned two children I didn't know about, the other had an adopted child.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, and watch the Padres game. A 3.5 hour game, and the pitching failed again - 14-8 loss to the Rockies. So now 34-37 on the season.
* Online at 9:20 p.m. to read, answer email, add to the Best Of post, and noted that Added and Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 9 to 15 June 2019 posted. Genealogy this day was 6.0 hours.

Genea-Journal - 12-13 June 2019
It was late last night when the Padres game ended so I didn't journal. It was cooler today - a normal "June gloom" day with a high temp here of about 72F.
1) Wednesday, 12 June:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, noted that Betty With Her Doll in the Berry Patch -- Post 569 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted.
* Picked her up, home to read and get ready for the CVGS Research Group, finished the member survey and made copies. Laid down to rest my eyes.
