My Geneaholic Thursday - 30 April 2015

Four months gone, 8 months to go for 2015.  This was an all-genealogy day at the keyboard, hardly a break, mainly because the Padres were idle, and hopefully thinking about breaking their 1-5 home slump.

*  Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 260: 1827 Bounty Land Warrant Awarded to Martin Carringer and More HistoryLines Information - Post 6: Answers to Questions/Comments and set it for later.

*  Answered email, added to the Best Of post, then worked on the Ancestry presentation.  Got through about 60% of it editing text and replacing images.  Many changes on Ancestry since the last presentation on this a year ago.

*  Researched and wrote Down the Rabbit Hole Again -- Finding New Jersey Ancestors Probate Abstracts then added events, notes and sources for the direct ancestors on the list.  Checked Facebook and Google+.

*  Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, read the paper, and then the NFL Draft.

*  Online at 7 p.m. to read, then got the 52 Ancestors sketch ready to go.  Tuned into Russ's Office Hours Hangout and enjoyed talking to Russ, True and Molly.  I added content from the AMT Hints to my database over the last 45 minutes.  

*  Read, checked Facebook, and wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 10.5 hours.
