My Genealogy Tuesday and Wednesday, 18-19 August 2015

Today would have been my grandmother's 116th birthday - resi in peace, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977).  It is also the 104th birthday of my father-in-law, Leo Severt Leland (1911-2002).

1)  Tuesday, 18 August 2015:

*  Read email and blogs, wrote Tuesday's Tip: Enhance Your Genealogy Education with Family Tree Webinars and then Twile Converts Family Tree Data into Visual Timelines - Post 1: GEDCOM Upload and set it for later.

*  Answered email, worked on the Stump the Chumps list and sent it, then had a nap.

*  Researched and wrote Family Tree Maker 2014 Changes Web Merge Default - Users Beware.  Checked Facebook, answered email, and added to the Best Of post.  

*  worked a bit in Ancestry looking for Seaver data.  Went in at 5 p.m. for dinner, read the paper and watched TV news.  Online at 6:15 p.m. to read, then worked a bit more in GenBank on Vaux folks.

*  Went in at 7:15 to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and read my book.  Padres beat the Braves 9-0.
