My Genealogy Wednesday - 1 January 2014

We're back from the Christmas holiday, and have the grandgirls with us for several days, so I didn't get a lot of time for genealogy today.

*  Read emails and blogs on the iPhone, and researched/wrote Top 30 Most Popular Posts on Genea-Musings in 2013.  Wrote My Genealogy Database Statistics Update - 1 January 2014.

*  Worked with the girls a bit, got them lunch, and back online to research/write Genealogy Industry Benchmark Numbers for 1 January 2014, and set it for later.  Checked Facebook.

*  Watched some of the Rose Bowl, then we went to Subway for dinner.  Home by 6:30 p.m. to read, and research/write a post for Thursday.  Got the girls bathed and jammied and down by 9:45 p.m.

*  Checked out new databases on Ancestry and FamilySearch, and added several gravestone photos to the database.  Went looking for Lambert Brigham in Worcester probates on FamilySearch - none found.  Too bad!

*  Wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.
