Pi day - enough said! Linda asked about it, I explained, 3.141589265+ and she didn't understand. This was a stay-at-home day, and I actually started on the taxes.Also did some fun genea-stuff.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read email and blogs, noted that MyHeritage Releases Three Census Record Collections from Norway and Treasure Chest Thursday - 1736 Marriage Record of Joseph Colby and Abigail Warren in Amesbury, Mass. posted. Added to the Best Of blog.
* Picked Linda up and home by 9:15 a.m. Added to the Best Of post.
* Decided to start on the taxes - looked for my TurboTax for 2018 and it was nowhere to be found. Not where it Should be. Not anywhere. Checked the email and saw that I opted for the download instead of the CD. Wasted 45 minutes there! Got it installed, and got the income entered in except for the investments. Tried to download the investment dividend and capital gains data from the investment firm, and got some, but not others. Called the advisor who said "remember, we switched to another firm" for one account?" Finally entered all of the data (it wasn't hard - 5 entries). I really don't like the outcome here!
* Decided I'd had enough and wanted to have some fun. Wrote Seavers in the News - Effie E. Seaver Dies in 1930 in Delaware. Had lunch. Updated the Best Of and RootsTech posts. Added about 25 MyHeritage record matches to the RootsMagic database.
* Ancestry has free Ireland records this weekend, so I started using them for the Irish Seaver folks in my RootsMagic tree. Found a bunch more and entered about six families. Took an hour nap.
* Online at 4 p.m. to work some more on Irish Seavers, then checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner (corned beef and cabbage), watch TV, read the paper, and wash dishes.
* Online at 6:15 to work on the 52 Ancestors profile, and wrote the post. Answered email. Downloaded some Colby deeds from Essex County - nothing that helps with the Warren/Worthen quandary.
* TreeShared 199 profiles to sync the RootsMagic and Ancestry trees.

This was a very busy genealogy day with RootsTech in full swing. I didn't blog as much.
* Dropped Linda at the Y at 7:30 a.m., then home to read email and blogs, add to the Best Of and compendium posts, and noted that RootsTech LiveStreaming Classes for Thursday, 28 February 2019 this early morning.
* Picked her up, and home by 9:15 a.m. to write MyHeritage Adds Automatic Clustering of DNA Matches for Insights on Common Ancestors. Watched the Keynote talks and answered email. Requested the MH cluster but haven't received the email yet.
* Wrote Seavers in the News -- Nicholas Seaver Dies in Wisconsin in 1934 and researched the family and added it to the RootsMagic tree. Another small German bush.
* Had lunch, then watched Crista Cowan's talk on livestream. More email traffic, some about DNA and Ancestry. Updated the Best Of and compendium posts.
* Checked Twitter and Facebook, and downloaded some screen shots for a blog post. Wrote Ancestry® Announces Coveted Content Releases and New, Game-Changing Family History Research Tools at RootsTech 2019. Watched some of the Kris R's livestream.
* Worked in AncestryDNA ThruLines a bit to switch back to the previous match screen. The Win10 laptop worked much better than the desktop Win 7 computer. Worked on the 52 Ancestors profile.
* Went in for dinner at 4:45 p.m., watched TV news, read the paper, and washed dishes.
* Online at 6 p.m. to write the 52 Ancestors post, work more on MyHeritage ToFR (5 out of 15 are wrong...), added two lines to the RootsMagic tree, updated the Best Of and blog compendium posts. Wrote the Friday livestream post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 11.0 hours.

Genea-Journal - Thursday, 27 December 2018
Four more days in 2018. I had hoped to write 1,000 posts on Genea-Musings for 2018, but I'm going to fall about 8 short. Oh well. I've been slacking off a bit due to the holidays and life.

Randy's Genea-Sunday and Monday - 4-5 November 2018
Some one forgot to journal last night. Oh well, did you miss me? It wasn't a big genealogy day.
1) Sunday, 4 November:
* Read email and blogs, then off to church at 9:40 a.m. and gave Maggie the Denmark records. Home by 11:20 a.m.
* Added to the Best Of post, noted that Added and Updated Ancestry.com Record Collections - Week of 28 October to 3 November 2018 posted, and wrote the Amanuensis post.
* Went in at 12:45 p.m. for lunch, then read the paper and watched football until 4:30. My Chargers beat Seattle 25-17.
* We went to dinner at Lolita's, and then shopped at the grocery store. Home by 6:45 p.m.
* Noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 28 October to 3 November 2018 posted, then wrote a post for Monday. Speed-watched three of the MyHeritage LIVE 2018 Conference videos. Couldn't find the others on Facebook. Interesting.
* Went in at 10 p.m. to read, then to bed. Genealogy this day was 5.0 hours.
2) Monday, 5 November:
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read, and picked her up at 8:50 a.m.
* Home by 9:05 to join Mondays With Myrt in progress. After 10:45, noted that Amanuensis Monday - 1816 Deed of Robert Jefts to Zachariah Hildreth Jr. in Townsend, Mass. posted. Added to the Best Of post. Took my nap.
* Online at 12 noon to read, noted that How Accurate Is an Ancestry Quick and Dirty Tree? posed. Wrote Monday Genea-Pourri - 5 November 2018.
* Checked Twitter and Facebook. Watched another MyHeritage video. Added to the Best Of post, and answered email.
* Went in at 5:15 to help with dinner, we ate, watched TV news, and read the paper, then washed dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to write the Treasure Chest post, then answered email and resolved over 400 Ancestry Hints (mainly Ignore them that don't add "good" information to profiles).
* Added to the Best Of post and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.
