Genea-Journal - Saturday, 20 April 2019
It's Easter Eve, and I don't have any candy to hide. Drat.
* Read email and blogs, dropped Linda at the Y, then home to gather my Bible study papers, and to Marie Callenders for breakfast before 8 a.m. We had only 6 today, starting II Samuel study.
* Picked Linda up at 9:45 and we went to the grocery store, then to the medical supply store for compression stockings for Linda - they were closed. Drat.
* Home by 10:40 a.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write the Ancestry and FamilySearch posts. Noted that Surname Saturday -- HOPKINS (England to colonial New England) posted.
* Had lunch, and worked in Ancestry Hints, resolving 213 of them and adding content and sources to my RootsMagic tree. Went in at 2:30 to watch TV and took a nap during the rugby game.
* Online at 4 p.m. to answer email, and uploaded a video to my YouTube channel. Took awhile - 16 minutes. But it's there. Posted a link to it on Facebook. Asked for help on how to edit it and do a voiceover on it. 22 to go! Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Date Your Grandfather Was Born posted.
* Went in at 5:10 p.m. to fix dinner, we ate, and then watched the Padres game. Read the paper, read my book, watered the front plants and washed dishes. Padres lost to Reds 4-2, so now 11-11 on the year, and lost 6 in a row. Drat.
* Leda called during the game and we talked about her Morandi line - I said I would look for her cousins in Utah. After the game, I worked on Ancestry to find them and was pretty successful. Found only one obituary though.
* Noted that Added and Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 14 to 20 April 2019 posted, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 6.0 hours.

I finally opened the Forever box and watched most of the home movies. Some goodies there. Have to use the USB drive because the CD/DVD drive won't open on the desktop computer.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that 52 Ancestors - Week 274: #449 Maria (--?--) (Abel) Tedrick (1693-1771) of Germany and Morris County, New Jersey posted.
Picked her up, and home by 9:15 a.m. The FMP presser never showed up. Wrote Seeing AncestryDNA ThruLines From Your Ancestry Member Tree Pedigree Chart. Not a big deal, but helpful. Took a nap.
* Had lunch, then worked in MyHeritage record matches adding content to the RootsMagic tree. Wrote Genealogy News Bytes - 19 April 2019. Checked Facebook and Twitter.
* Broke open the Forever box that came last week, and found the two DVDs and the USB drive. Put the USB drive in - all 23 files are 3 minutes and about 60 mb. Watched most of them - lots of talking to myself, berating of the camerafolk, they could have been even better. Made some screenshots while watching full screen and saved them. Some are priceless photos - I'll use them for the Wordless Wednesday. I have no photographs at all of most of the scenes in these movies!
* Went in at 5:10 p.m. to eat dinner and watch TV news. Online at 6 p.m. to write the two Saturday posts, then copied the movies to the external drive. I need to get them in a cloud drive too, but don't have 1.3 gb to spare.
* Went in at 7:10 to watch the Padres game, read the paper, read my book, and wash dishes. Padres lost 3-2 in the 11th inning to the Reds, now 11-10 and lost 5 in a row. Drat.
* Checked email and blogs on my phone, then online on the desktop to write this post. Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.

2) Monday, 24 October 2015:

Back in the Saddle Again
I haven't journaled since I got home on Sunday because the light in the genea-cave burned out when I turned it on Sunday night. It was dark and I couldn't see the keyboard. I went out and bought a desk lamp today. Here's today's journal:
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Tuesday's Tip: Watch RootsTech 2016 Videos on YouTube and DearMYRTLE YouTube Videos About RootsTech 2016.
* Left at 10:45 a.m. to go to the hygienist for tooth cleaning. Got a referral for a root canal (oh boy) and some meds for my gum problem. Went to Wal-Mart for lunch, then got the meds at the pharmacy and bought the desk lamp and a clock radio for the cave.
* Home by 1 p.m. to read, then added to the blog compendium and printed off the CVGS Newsletter. Left at 2:30 p.m. to publish the newsletter; home by 3 p.m. to take a nap.

My Genealogy Friday - 19 June 2015
I didn't make much progress today in my tasks, but learned a bit and had fun doing it. Then the Padres lost again. Drat.

* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, water the front yard and eat dinner.

My Geneaholic Tuesday - 21 October 2014
This was an interesting and full day - stayed home, did some research, and added some content to the database.
* Read email and blogs, then researched and wrote Technology Tuesday - Billion Graves Mobile App. Wrote Three Interesting MyHeritage Announcements and set it for later in the morning.
* Looked for the 1902 Alexander Sovereen article online but didn't find it. Should be in my notebook! Didn't find it on Google, or in Ancestry trees either. Wrote New or Updated Collections at FamilySearch - 12-18 October 2014.
* Worked in the 1940 Census matches on Ancestry - cleared another 53, down to 69 left to do (at least until Ancestry gives me more matches). Added a bunch of sources and some content.

My Geneaholic Tuesday - 14 October 2014
This was another stay-at-home genealogy day and I got some things done, but messed around too much.
* Read email and blogs, then researched and wrote Technology Tuesday - FamilySearch Family Tree Mobile App and answered email. Had to reboot when the computer got slow. In the mean time, culled about half of the non-genealogy paper pile.
* Watched several YouTube videos by Russ, Crista, Pat and Tessa. Checked Facebook. Wrote One Family Tree File or Many Tree Files?
* Went in at 2 p.m. to watch the baseball game, took a nap, read the paper. Back online at 3:45 p.m. to read and then research and wrote Requesting a Microfilm Image From the FHL. Worked in Ancestry Hints for awhile.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV, and eat dinner. Watered the front yard and washed dishes too.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and worked in Ancestry Hints some more. Eventually added about 20 1940 census records to the database with source citations for all family members. About 60 more to do. Blog fodder for Wednesday!
