My Genealogy Tuesday - 31 October 2017

Another month gone by, only two to go in 2017.  Life goes on here in the Genea-Manor.  Things have quieted down from Linda's brother's visit and the weekend and my busy Monday.  This was a fairly boring day, actually, although I did watch Finding Your Roots instead of the end of World Series Game 6.

*  Dropped Linda off at 7:30, home to read email and blogs, picked her up at 9 a.m. and we went to the grocery store, and home by 9:40 a.m.

*  Online to read, add to the Best Of post, and noted that Treasure Chest Tuesday - Baptism Record of Alexander Whittle (1774-1855) in Chorley, Lancashire posted.  Wrote RootsMagic TreeShare, Ancestry Member Trees, and Source Citations.

*  Took a 30 minute nap, then had lunch, and online at 12:45 p.m. to read and answer email.  Worked on Genealogy News Bytes -- 31 October 2017 off and on.

*  Checked Twitter and Facebook, and worked in the database a bit accepting Ancestry WebHints for several ancestors.  Checked my DNA matches - I lost an AncestryDNA circle and one Shared Hint somehow.  Worked in the database tring to find birth dates for Seavers in the Public Records database with some success.

*  Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch baseball, eat dinner, read the paper and read my book on the tablet.  Online at 7 p.m. to write the Treasure Chest post and do more database work.

*  Went in at 7:45 p.m. to watch baseball and then Finding Your Roots.  Washed dishes, and online at 9:15 p.m. to write this post, check Facebook, and add to the Best Of post.  Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.
