My Geneaholic Friday - 10 October 2014
This was a stay-at-home day also. I'm not sure i'm ready for the talks on Saturday. Now I have a scratchy throat.
* Read email and blogs, then noted that 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 41: #48 Henry Carringer (1800-1879) posted. Wrote New Family History Series on CNN - "Roots, Our Journeys Home" and set it for later. Gort the news that Audrey doesn't need surgery - good! She called to tell me.
* Looked in Google Books for Henry Carringer and found an article about John and Eliza (Carringer) Robinson. Added content and sources to that family, and tried to extend the family a bit since they are cousins. Finally wrote "Forrest Gump Principle of Genealogical Research" Strikes Again...
* Wrote the Surname Saturday and SNGF posts, and was about to go in for dinner when the Mocavo census news came down - so I wrote Major News - Mocavo.com Offers U.S. Census Images.
* Went in for dinner, to watch the baseball game, water the front yard, read the paper, and wash the dishes while Linda did her email. Printed off the Bingo pages.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, then participate in the GenChat on Twitter using something that Jen mentioned that I can't recall now. Drat. GenChat was about town records. Afterwards, I went on facebook and deleted most of my comments that were meaningless to a Facebook reader.
* Went in to watch some of the ball game, ended in the 10th with Royals winning 8-6.
* Online at 9:15 p.m. to read, add some folks and sources to James line, and then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 10.5 hours.

My Genealogy Tuesday - 22 April 2014
My oh my, April is waning...only 7 weeks until Jamboree! Where does the time go when I'm having genealogy fun?
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Tuesday's Tip - FamilySearch has 12 Maryland Collections and researched and wrote Attaching Historical Records to Entire Families in FamilySearch Family Tree - Part 2: A Significant Problem.
* Wrote the SDGS program article and sent it off to Diane. Answered more email. Reviewed Israel's blog posts and articles about Geni.
* Worked in Geni.com writing up a discussion and overview for Mary --?-- who married Thomas Fish. Wrote Follow-Up on Geni.com Collaborative Tree - Getting It Right.
* Explored several resources for parents of Hannah Rolfe born 1650 - think her parents were Daniel and Hannah (Bradstreet) Rolfe but found nothing conclusive.
* Worked in Twitter for awhile, checked Facebook, and then found several newspaper articles for David Auble on Mocavo. Captured them - maybe blog fodder! Definitely biography fodder.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, ate dinner, watered the front lawn, and washed the dishes. Padres beat the Brewers 2-1 in 11 innings (Pads now 10-11).
* Online at 9:15 p.m. to read, add to Best Of post, and worked in Ancestry on Gardners and Garfields adding content and sources.
* Checked Facebook, wrote this post. Genealogy today was 9.0 hours.

My Geneaholic Wednesday - 2 April 2014
I love baseball, I really do! We go to some of the games, and try to watch the rest on TV. Baseball sure changes the time I spend on doing genealogy research and writing.
* Read email and blogs, and wrote The Fern Street Apartment House in San Diego -- Post 301 for (Not So) Wordless Wednesday. The heater guy came again and finally the thermostat works the way it should.
* Researched and wrote Working With the Mocavo Search Engine Sliders - Post 1. Packed up and off to lunch at McDonalds and then to the library.
* Looked in on John's group, then to the Board meeting and two hours of discussion and debate, 2/3 of it useless IMHO. Sat with Shirley again on the NY presentation and we're good to go on Saturday. Got three books to read.
* Home by 2:40 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, figured out that Cox email wasn't forwarding to Gmail, and fixed it (I think). Wrote The RAGU Challenge: 3-2-1 CITE! - Abigail A. (Vaux) Smith's Birth Date.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV news, eat dinner, water the front plants, feed the birds, and wash dishes. Susi called about her report. Helped Linda with her no-no, and briefly read blog posts.
* Went in at 7:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game and start my new Brad Thor novel. Padres lost 5-1 (so we're now 1-2... drat).
* Online at 10:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, and write this post. Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.

My Geneaholic Friday - 28 March 2014
It was a full day here in the genealogy cave - with few distractions. I got a lot done!
* Read email and blogs, and noted that 52 Ancestors, Week 13: #20 James Richman/Richmond (1821-1912) of Putnam, Conn. posted.
* Answered email, worked on the investigator's problem for about two hours, and eventually wrote Helping Out the Police Investigator.
* Wrote the SNGF post. Downloaded the Providence RI books and put them in a file folder in the Localities file folder. Moved other downloaded files to surname folders and renamed them.
* Looked all over for where I got the Henry Arnold White middle name. Couldn't find it in any of the records I have, the White notebook, etc. It may be in a paper stack. Searched on Mocavo and found it!
* Went in for dinner at 5 p.m., and we watched basketball, and read the paper, then washed the dishes.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, then wrote Now Where Did I Get That Name? I Got Lucky! Mocavo Helped.
* Wrote the Surname Saturday post, and added to the Best Of post. Answered more email, checked in on Facebook and Google+.
* Worked in RootsMagic adding persons and data to the FamilySearch Family Tree in the Metcalf line. Did several families. Still need to go through all of the children to square them up a bit.
