It was another genealogy day with a little break to go to the skin doctor.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of and Blog compendium posts, and wrote Tuesday's Tip: Watch RootsTech 2015 Livestreamed Sessions and then watched some of the videos and wrote DearMYRTLE AmbushCAM and other Videos from FGS/RootsTech 2015 and set it for later.
* Worked on renaming the record images from the FHL visit, got about 70% done. Wrote FGS/RootsTech 2015 Geneablogger After-Party Photos - Post 2 and set it for later. Had a short Jangout with Claire about Geni and WikiTree.
* Went off at 1:30 p.m. for the medical center, got my blood test done (no waiting) and then to the skin doc to have my head and arm zapped and some pre-cancerous basal cells scraped off my back for testing.
* Home by 2:30 p.m. to read, added to the Best Of and compendium posts, answered email, added more photos to the Google+ site, and checked Facebook.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, read the paper and wash dishes. Online at 7 p.m. to read and write New Book by Geoff Rasmussen - "Kindred Voices: Listening for our Ancestors."
* At 8 p.m. went in to watch Genealogy roadshow - I thought this one wasn't as interesting as the others. Online at 9 p.m. to read, then worked in FamilySearch Family Tree adding and matching Seaver folks.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 11.0 hours.

My Geneaholic Monday - 16 February 2015
We got home on Sunday afternoon, and I spent the evening moving the photos to the desktop and organizing them into research and RootsTech files. Need to back them up too. Monday was a very busy day because of all of the RootsTech leftovers, although I did some research in the evening.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Blog Compendium post.
* Joined Mondays With Myrt with my usual banter, this time about RootsTech conference. Noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 256: 1812 Deed of Nathan Gates to John Peirce Jr. posted.
* Found the article by Amy, and copied it and posted "She's my seventh cousin!" - I was quoted in the Daily Herald newspaper. Wrote New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - February 9-15, 2015.
* Answered email, and updated the blog compendium again. Figured out how to upload a photo archive, so created an Event, invited folks, and populated it with 80 RootsTech photos. Pretty good response - took about 90 minutes to do it. Posted on Facebook about it too.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to read the paper, eat dinner, watch TV news, and wash dishes.
* Online at 6:45 p.m. to read email, update the blog compendium again, etc. Went down a rabbit trail and added some Seaver folks to the database from a BillionGraves memorial.
* worked in FamilySearch Family Tree in the Seaver folks, resolved several large Seaver families. Still more to do!
* Checked Facebook and Google+ and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 12.0 hours.

My Genealogy Wednesday - 24 July 2013
It was pretty much an all genealogy day again (I love those!), except for the Padres game.
* Read email and blogs, wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 266: My Mother's 1942 Picture and then worked in RootsMagic merging and editing place names. That took awhile - over 6,500 of them! I'm sure I missed some, but I caught a lot of duplicates and outright errors.
* Wrote Using the Correspondence List in RootsMagic. Had lunch, then went to the library to look in on the CVGS Computer Group I(only 4 there), and got a Michael Palmer book to read.
* Home by 1:15 p.m. to read, then researched and wrote Finding Henry Carringer's Land Patents, and Location, in Cheyenne County, Kansas. Added some of the land patents to the atabase as Facts, sources and Media. Checked Facebook, then worked in the database adding sources and content.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, eat dinner, read my Stephen Coonts book, put out the trash, water the front plants and wash the dishes. Pads lost 3-1 to the Brewers, so now 45-57 (won 3 of 5).
* Online at 8 p.m. to read, then worked in the database adding sources and content. Added to the Best Of post, and wrote this post.

My genealogy days - Sunday and Monday, 2-3 June 2013
I got lazy last night and didn't journal...watched the Padres game until 11 p.m.
1) Sunday, 2 June 2013:
* Read email and blogs, and finished up the Best Of post. Went off to church at 9:15 a.m.
* Home at 11:30 a.m. and read, then watched TV, and noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 25 May to 1 June 2013 posted.
* Worked on the CVGS Newsletter for two hours - about 50% done. Need more content.
* Wrote several posts for the time we're at Jamboree.
* Went in at 5 p.m. for dinner, watched TV news, read the paper, and came back to the computer for awhile to do some random research. Then the Padres game at 7:10, and watched until 11 p.m. Pads lost 7-4 to Toronto in 11 innings. Rats. Finished my book. Used the phone to read email, blogs, FB.
Genealogy on Sunday was 5.0 hours.
2) Monday, 3 June 2013:
* Read email and blogs, wrote Amanuensis Monday - Probate Records of Adam Mott (1596-1661) of Portsmouth, R.I.
* Tuned in to Mondays with Myrt and was on the panel. didn't contribute much, was able to talk about the FamilySearch land and probate collections.
* Online again at 10:30 a.m., but didn't write anything. Checked Ancestry, FamilySearch for new databases but not much of interest. Did a little more in the FS Family Tree using RootsMagic. Found that MyHeritage had found Record Matches for my second tree, so put some slides together for a blog post.
* Tuned into the Ancestry telecon at 12:45 and it went until 2:30 p.m. Some interesting features are coming, and some excellent ideas shared by the group with Ancestry. Wait for it...
* Finished my post on Finally Received Record Matches on MyHeritage. Then wrote Do You Have Issues/Suggestions/Questions for Ancestry.com?
* Did some random research in Ancestry and AmericanAncestors - added some content and sources. Not many, though...took some time to find several bits of data to flesh out a couple.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to have dinner, read the paper, and watch the news. Online at 6:30 p.m. to add more to the CVGS Newsletter - now 75% done.
* Padres game started at 7:10, so read a genealogy book, and then read Facebook, email, blogs on the phone and worked in Ancestry. Had to log off and on (a challenge finding that). Checked the MyHeritage app too and it doesn't show record matches yet. Pads lost 2-1 to Dodgers, so now 26-31.
* Online at 9:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write this post.

My Genealogy Monday - 29 April 2013
One more day left in April. Did quite a bit today...but the Padres lost.

* Joined the Mondays with Myrt Hangout on Air, but didn't contribute much this week.
* Researched and wrote Family Tree Builder 7.0 Software Synchronization with MyHeritage Family Tree - Post 2. Uploaded more photos and they seemed to go onto the site, but they are gone later.

* Home by 1:15 p.m. to read, check Facebook, then wrote Working With My Research Logs in RootsMagic 6.

* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper and my book, and did chores. Pads lost 5-3 to the Cubs to break their winning streak.
* Online at 8:15 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and then worked in MyHeritage Record Matches - finished up the Interment.net matches, and the Texas Marriages and divorces matches, and found a few useful NewspaperARCHIVE articles and added them to the database.

My genealogy funday - 8 April 2013
I'm back in town, did you miss me? I missed journaling. I did post daily on Facebook, but while I was in Santa Cruz I did no genealogy work besides reading email and blogs, and finishing several blog posts. Monday I was able to do pretty normal genealogy things, to wit:
* Read email and blogs, wrote Amanuensis Monday - Probate Records of Mary (Thurston) Slocum (1657-1732).
* Watched/listened to the Mondays With Myrt Hangout On Air (now on YouTube) and then wrote NGS Conference Mobile App available! Made iPhone screen shots of the app, put them into Dropbox, copied them to the desktop, and wrote First Look at NGS 2013 Conference App.
* Edited the CVGS Newsletter one last time, printed it off, saved it as a PDF, printed the mail list, and left at 1:30 p.m. for the UPS Store to copy/mail the newsletter. Lots of copier problems today, home by 2:30 p.m.
* Checked Facebook, answered some email, and emailed the CVGS Newsletter to the CVGS members.
* Added content to the Ebenezer Slocum family, then edited the Amanuensis post. Moved some download stuff to Ancestor Files.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to read the paper, watch TV and eat dinner. Came back at 6 p.m. to listen/watch/comment on the DearMYRTLE's anniversary bash Hangout on Air. Had to delete 500 comments that went to email - easiest on the iPhone. She lost her Internet at about 7:15, so joined Roger's Hangout for awhile - first one in about a year or more.
* At 8 p.m., got off and checked Facebook, added to the Best Of post, watched the last 10 minutes of the NCAA game, and worked in Find A Grave on MyHeritage Record Matches adding content and sources to the database. Got over 40,000 sources now, and 113 FAG entries to confirm. Wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 16 June 2012
It was a fairly full genealogy day...and I made some progress too!
* Read email and blogs, then went to breakfast at Jimmy's with the church men's group.
* Home by 9:45 a.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and note that Surname Saturday - BECK (England > New York) posted.
* Wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How popular was your name? and set it for later.
* Worked some more on the Cloud presentation. Discovered Google Drive, signed up, and put some files into it. Changed that later - deleted the ones already in Dropbox, and added more to GDrive. Worked a bit in Google Docs to add to the slides for the talk.
* Went in at 2:30 p.m. to watch the rest of the Padres game. Read the paper, took a nap, talked on the phone. Padres lost 6-4 to the As. Drat.
* Online at 4 p.m. to read, and work some more on the presentation.
* Dinner call at 5:30 p.m., then watched TV news, fed the birds, and read the paper while Linda was online.
* On the computer by 7 p.m. to work on church committee stuff, then answer email, add some new data to Find-A-Grave, and work on the database finding content and adding sources. Checked in on Facebook, finished up the Best Of post, and wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 11 January 2012
It was a very full, and pretty fun, day doing genealogy.
* Read email and blogs, wrote http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/01/not-so-wordless-wednesday-post-187.html and then worked on http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/01/finding-us-vital-records-on-archivescom.html and set it for 11 a.m.
* Printed out material, and gathered up my stuff for the research group, and went off to Mcdonalds for lunch at 11 a.m. and then to the library for CVGS Research Group at 12 noon.
* We had 18 at the Research Group with great sharing. Went around the table sharing goals, then questions and answers, and finally successes and challenges.
* Home by 2:30 p.m. to read, then put genealogy dates on my iPhone Calendar, and had to copy pages for Tami before we went out to Lolita's at 4:30 p.m.
* Home by 5 p.m. to watch TV news and read the paper, then online at 6 p.m. Wrote http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/01/more-goodies-from-san-diego-newspapers.html.
* Went mining in GenealogyBank for two hours - Carringer, Smith, Blanchard, Seaver, Kemp, DeFrance, etc. Found a bunch of articles.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook. Frustrated by IE9, downloaded Chrome to use as a browser. Imported and managed Bookmarks, wonder how I'll like it. Already found out it won't copy my blog titles to this post - it adds the box around it too. Will experiment. Wrote this post.

My genealogy day - 12 July 2011
It was a very full day, but I took some time off to watch the MLB All-Star Game.
* Up early again, read email and blogs, did some google+ work, got cleaned up and noted that Tuesday's Tip - How to Find New/Updated Collections on FamilySearch.org posted.
* Gathered the laptop and flash drive, and off to Carlsbad by 8:20. Traffic OK until the Triangle, and then stop/go for two miles. Got there by 9:20 (it's 43 miles) and read for awhile, then followed people to the council chambers at 9:30. Got set up, but my screen was not showing through the projector. Turned out the cable was plugged into wrong place on projector by their expert. Whew!
* Talk started at 10:20, done by 11:20, some good questions, and off to lunch with Pauline, Jack and Bobbie for burgers and chips. Headed for home at 1 p.m., home by 1:45 p.m.
* Read everything, did some google+ invites and comments, and finally wrote FUN with 1930 United States Census Source Citations. Got into a Hangout with Russ, Heather, Susi and Marian.
* Went in at 5:35 p.m. to watch the All-Star Game, ate dinner, read the paper, watered the front plants and back lawn.
* Back online at 8:30 p.m. to read, work in Google+, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, tweet about OASIS a bunch of times, and write this post.

My genealogy day - 11 July 2011
Started the OASIS class, finished the CVGS newsletter, did lots more on Google+, attended my first Hangout, and blogged a bit. No research...
* Read email and blogs, worked in google+ a bit, wrote Some Google Plus Commentary and got cleaned up.
* Gathered up my laptop, the handouts, the newsletter masters and stuff, and left at 9:10 a.m. for Mission Valley.
* got to Macy's and the OASIS class by 9:30 a.m., got set up, had to download Adobe Reader to the new OASIS laptop, and greeted my students as they came in after 10 a.m. An interesting mix of heritages!
* Left at 12:15 p.m., ate lunch at McDonalds, then to the UPS Store to make the 40 copies of the CVGS Newsletter, and mail 27 of them.
* Home by 1:30 p.m. to read, and noted that Amanuensis Monday - Marriage Deposition in Joseph Oatley's Revolutionary War Pension File posted on schedule.
* Answered some emails, got real sleepy, so went in at 3 p.m. to watch TV and take a nap. Ron came at 4 to visit, and left by 4:45. I read, then worked in Google+ again, until dinner time.
* Had dinner, back online at 6:30 to read, noticed Eastman had a 7 p.m. Hangout planned, so jumped into that with headphones and mic, but no webcam. The system works OK, but has a maximum number of 10 persons on the video/audio/chat session.
* Revised my Wikis presentation one last time, practiced it, and got it on the flash drive and laptop for Tuesday.
* Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook and Twitter, and wrote this post.
