My Genealogy Saturday - 31 August 2013

Finally had a fairly full day doing genealogy work - no meetings, no programs, just write and research.  And the Padres game, of course.

*  Read email and blogs, wrote Surname Saturday - POTTER (England > colonial New England).  Then wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Do Jill Ball's Bloggers GeneaMeme and set it for later.

*  Wrote August Program Review - Terry Connors, San Diego County Surveyor on the CVGS blog, plus the Calendar post for September.

*  Checked Facebook and Google+, then balanced the checkbooks - 4 months had piled up on me.  also figured out we haven't received our income tax refunds yet.  IRS site is down until 3 September.  Put all the stuff back under the kitchen sink.

*  Worked in RootsMagic syncing the Wade families with FamilySearch Family Tree.  Lots of problems in FSFT - extra spouses, wrong spouses, extra children, etc.  Need to read up on how to fix all of that.

*  Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV news, we ate dinner.  Online to work in the database some adding sources and content.

*  Went in at 7 p.m. to watch the Padres game - Dodgers won 2-1 in a well-pitched game.  Pads now 60-75.  Read the paper, watered the front plants, did the dishes, read my Bell book.  

*  Online at 9:15 p.m. to read, do more online work adding sources and content.  Added to the Best Of post, and checked Facebook.
