My Genealogy Saturday - 31 December 2016

Well, this is it - the last post of the year.  Number 266.  Genea-Musings is at #979.

Happy New Year to geneaholics everywhere - the only holicism where folks are encouraged to take part in whatever it is we do all day long and all year long.

It was a rainy day, so we stayed home until tonight when we went to Barbara's for dinner and discussion.  Talked a lot about genealogy and DNA.

*  Linda didn't go to the Y, so I read email and blogs and added to the Best Of post.  Noted that  Surname Saturday -- LNU (England to Colonial New England) posted.

*  Checked Facebook, and saw that Family Tree Maker updates were available, so I posted Family Tree Maker Newsletter - dated 24 December 2016.  Then I found my email in Spam with the link to get Version 2014.1 for Windows, so I did and installed it easily.  Had trouble with one of the FTM trees wouldn't sync with the AMT, but I had that problem before.  A second FTM tree did sync.  I didn't notice any features added.

*  Had lunch, then noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun (SNGF) - What did Genea-Santa Bring You? posted.  Went in to watch football, and dozed a bit.  

*  Online at 2 p.m. to read, then checked Facebook, and added to the Best Of post.  Went back in to watch football.

*  We left at 4:30 p.m. for Barbara's for the dinner party, only 8 there.  Had a nice conversation with the others, and had a nice dinner and yummy desserts.  I'm full.  We left at 9:15 p.m.

*  Online at 9:30 to read, then wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 6.0 hours.
