I was up early, ready for my SDGS presentations, and they went pretty well.
* Read email and blogs, and left at 8:30 a.m. for the SDGS meeting. Noted that Surname Saturday -- HOWLAND (England to Plymouth Colony) posted.
* Got there before 9 a.m. and sat in on most of Diane Hall's Social Media presentation. I ducked out at 9:30 a.m. to get setup for my 10 a.m. talk. Got the laptop on and ready to go, got it setup on the VGA cable, and got them ic working. Diane Lott opened the meeting right at 10 a.m. and I did the Pennsylvania talk. Went well.
* Hurried to the back of the room during announcements and was first in line for the ice cream social. Got my three scoops and toppings and talked to folks about Pennsylvania. I still don't know 80% of the attendees at SDGS after 15 years of going to meetings.
* Started again at 11:30 a.m.with announcements, and I did my Ten Best Free Genealogy Websites talk like it was a radio station Top 10 countdown. Even had the audience helping with an echo. That also went well, was done by 12:25 p.m.
* Made it home by 1 p.m. to eat some lunch, read email, and blogs, wrote two CVGS blog posts, and took an hour nap as a reward. Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Ahnentafel Roulette posted. Answered email and added to the Best Of post. Checked Facebook.
* We ate dinner at 5:15 p.m. and I was back online for awhile reading, then went in at 6:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and then read my book. Did the dishes and watered the front plants. Padres won 6-5 over Rangers in the 9th inning, so now 40-49 and not yet in last place.
* Online at 9:20 p.m. to read, answer email, check Facebook, and write this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

My Genealogy Friday - 10 July 2015
I didn't make a lot of progress today, but I'm ready for Saturday! We took the girls back this morning.
* Read email and blogs, noted that 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 80: #95 Nancy (Kenyon) Champlin (1765-before 1833) posted. Got the girls fed and dressed, and packed up. Answered email and added to the Best Of post.
* We left at 11:10 a.m. for Carlsbad to take the girls back. Had lunch at In 'n' Out and were home by 2 p.m.
* Read blogs, then wrote Dear Randy: I Hate the new LifeStory. Went in and took a 45 minute nap.
* Online at 4 p.m. to read blogs, and write the Surname Saturday post. Checked Facebook and Google+. Practiced the Ten Best presentation for the first time, and did some edits.
* Went in for dinner at 5:30 p.m. Linda spilled hot butter on the stove burner and we had a contained fire. Put a pan top over the burner and it eventually went out. We watched the Padres game, ate dinner, and I read the paper, my book, and then got the presentations on the laptop. Padres lost 4-3 to Rangers, so now 39-49 and have lost 6 straight.
* Online at 8:15 p.m. to write the SNGF post, added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and read blogs and email. Wrote this post. Genealogy today was 6.0 hours.

My Genealogy Thursday - 9 July 2015
This was another day with the grandgirls here, but I stayed home when they went to the Y to swim with Linda. The girls slept in until 8 and 9, so I had some morning computer time.
* Read email and blogs, noted that Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 270: 1840 New York State Census for Amos Underhill Household in Aurora, N.Y. posted.
* Wrote Two More Children's Books on Family History around playing with the girls. Poker, Fish, a Jacks game, hide and seek, etc. Answered email and worked in WikiTree on several problems in order to answer to email.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote David Kirby (1740-1832) Went Missing on WikiTree! and set it for later.
* Took a 40 minute nap while the kids were at the Y, then read blogs and added to the Best Of post. Made some Sever reports for David and sent them off.
* We left at 5:30 p.m. for dinner at Lolita's, except Lolo got a Subway and Audrey got a McDonalds Happy Meal. We were home by 6:45.
* Played more games with the girls, then worked on the 52 Ancestors post, and wrote it for Friday. Facebook, added to the Best Of post and I'm tired. The girls go home on Friday. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

My Semi-Genealogy Wednesday - 8 July 2015
I actually did some genealogy activities today, although the grandgirls were here to visit.
* After getting the girls fed, and watching TV, read my email and blogs and added to the Best Of post. Wrote Randy at the Empire State Building -- Post 367 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday and then Randy is Presenting Saturday, 11 July at San Diego Genealogical Society and set it for later in the morning.
* Had some fun time playing balloons with Audrey while Lauren read, then gathered the laptop and off to lunch at McDonalds, then the bank, then the library for a book, and then to the city hall for the CVGS research Group.
* We had 13 at the Research Group and it was fairly lively. I discussed MyHeritage, the BLM/GLO website maps and aliquot parts (heh!), the Ancestry FREE collections, and Relative Finder and Puzzilla add-ons to FamilySearch Family Tree.
* Home by 2:30 p.m. to read, then took a 40 minute nap, and then read some more. Wrote MyHeritage Launches Breakthrough Global Name Translation™ Technology to Power Family History Discoveries.
* Went in at 4:20 p.m. to watch the Padres game. Linda and the girls came home from swimming. We left at 5:45 p.m. for dinner at El Pollo Loco. Home by 7 p.m. to have Dove bars for dessert. Padres lost 5-2 to Pirates, so now 39-48 and way behind the Dodgers. Is there hope?
* Snuggled with the girls and they got ready for bed, had snacks, and decided to sleep in one room. They got along well today. I read, added to the Best Of post, answered email, and wrote a post for Thursday since we may go off fairly early on an excursion.
* Checked Facebook, wrote this post. Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.

My Non-Genealogy Monday and Tuesday - 6-7 July 2015
Life sometimes interferes with genealogy, and it has these two days to some extent.
1) Monday, 6 July:
* Read email and blogs, and noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 275: Will of Samuel Bigelow (1653-1732) of Watertown, Mass. posted.
* Joined Mondays With Myrt for 30 minutes, then left at 9:40 a.m. for Mission Valley to teach my OASIS class. Got there just before 10 a.m., had 7 students, and was home by 12:45 p.m.
* Linda met me at the door and we went to lunch with Ruthie, our former neighbor now in a retirement community, to celebrate her 87th birthday. We went to Marie Callenders, and by the time we got home it was 4 p.m.
* Read a bit, sent the CVGS Newsletter out by email, noted that New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - June 28 to July 4, 2015 posted,
then watched the Psdres game, ate dinner, and read the paper, and then my book. Padres lost 2-1 to Pirates in the 9th. Drat.
* Online at 7:30 p.m. to read, write Kickstarter Campaign for a Children's Illustrated Family History Book, added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, but didn't do any research or journal. Genealogy this day was 5.5 hours.
2) Tuesday, 7 July 2015:
* Read email and blogs, wrote Tuesday's Tip: Search or Browse California Records on FamilySearch and One-year Findmypast Subscription to US/Canada Records with NGS Membership and set it for later.
* Printed off the masters for the CVGS Newsletter and mail label list. Practiced the Pennsylvania talk for awhile, then gathered up the newsletter stuff and went to the UPS Store and published it. Took the mail copies to the post office.
* Had an 11:20 a.m. appointment at the medical center to have my ears cleaned out - the earwax has built up and sometimes I can't hear well. Nice doc who was interested in my genealogy tales. He managed to get the rocks out with the vacuum and pick, one was half an inch long and really impacted. I don't notice much difference but nice to have them clear again.
* Got home by 12:20 p.m. and we set off immediately for Carlsbad to meet Tami and the girls. The girls came home with us. They played, I napped, and we went to dinner at Chick-fil-A. Home by 7 p.m. to watch the rest of the Padres game. Rain delay, Pads lost 3-2 to the Pirates. Now 39-47 and hopelessly out of contention.
* Got the girls to bed, read, added to the Best Of post, answered email, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 4.5 hours.
Blogging will be light for the rest of the week while we enjoy the grandgirls.

* Read email and blogs, and finished up the Best of the Genea-Blogs - 28 June to 4 July 2015 post.

My Genealogy Fourth of July
I actually got to do some genealogy work on a Saturday...but it was pretty laid back.
* Read email and blogs, and noted that My Revolutionary War Soldiers posted early in the morning. Wrote Surname Saturday - BOWERS (England to colonial New England) and then the SNGF post.
* Went through about 100 Ancestry Hints adding some to the database. Answered some email.
* Went in at 11:15 a.m. to watch the Padres game, eat lunch and read the paper. Padres lost 2-1 to the Cards, so now 39-44.
* Online at 2 p.m. to read, noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Fourth of July Memories posted. Decided on a nap...and then back to read, worked through another 100 Hints adding content and sources. Checked Facebook.
* Worked on the CVGS Newsletter until dinnertime, and then also after dinner.
* We left at 7:45 p.m. for the church to watch the fireworks. Home at 9:15 p.m. to talk to brother-in-law on the phone. Worked a bit in FamilySearch Family Tree on Kingston, Mass. Sever family. It's messed up.

My Genealogy Friday - 3 July 2015
This was supposed to be the day they put in the fake grass to save water. They didn't come. I had to call them. They said later in the afternoon. Nope. Maybe on Saturday? 4th of July? I doubt it. Maybe Monday? At least we haven't paid them yet.
* Read email and blogs, wrote 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 79: #94 Joseph Champlin (1757-1850).
* Updated all of the OASIS presentations and got them on the flash drive and Dropbox for Monday. Sent the SDGS handouts to Linda to copy.
* Answered email, and worked in Ancestry a bit on the DNA Match trees, adding folks from the RootsMagic file, and vice versa.
* Started the new car search online. Want something comfortable, cheap, reliable, good mileage, silver exterior, light interior, etc. Also need a dealer nearby. Maybe a two year old former rental car?
* Researched and wrote How Many Signers of the Declaration of Independence Am I Related To? using Relative Finder.
* Went in and took a 40 minute nap, I was tired. Online at 3:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook, answer more email, searched for McCracken obituary. Found Facebook and Google+ posts. Set up a new user file for Linda, set up her Thunderbird and transferred the address book into it.
* Went in at 5:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, eat dinner, read the paper, and my book. Padres beat Cards 2-1 in the 9th. Now 39-43.
* Online at 8 p.m. to read, then worked on the CVGS Newsletter for awhile. About 75% done now, need one more big article and several small ones.

My Genealogy Day - 2 July 2015
I feel like a slacker. I should have worked on the CVGS Newsletter tonight but didn't feel like it. So I got into Ancestry and it wouldn't search for some reason. So I used RootsMagic to match some of my ancestors with the FSFT and it had an unexpected error. I think I'll go read my book.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 269: 1855 New York State Census for Amos Underhill Household in Aurora, N.Y.
* Checked the OASIS handouts and sent them off to the office to make copies for the Monday class.
* Researched and wrote What Facts Show Up in an Ancestry.com LifeStory?
* We went off to Dan's memorial service at 11:40 a.m., and were home before 2 p.m.
* Read, added to the Best Of post, and looked through the AncestryDNA matches again - two more with Hints, now have 72, but a number don't have trees or have private trees. Answered some email.
Worked on the Joseph Champlin profile for the 52 Ancestors sketch.
* Checked Google+ and Facebook, and went in at 4:15 p.m. to watch the Padres game. We ate dinner, I read the paper and then my book, and watered the front plants. Padres beat the Cards 5-3 in 11 innings in a good game. So now 38-43 at the half way point. Need to go 50-31 to finish with 88 wins. Not likely.
* Online at 8:30 p.m. to read, then tried Ancestry but couldn't search. Matched a few ancestors in FSFT using RootsMagic but RM had an unexpected error.
* Wrote this post. Genealogy today was only 6.5 hours.

My Genealogy Day - 1 July 2015
The first day of the second half of 2015. Where does the time go? I look at my list of blog posts and see that I've written 489 so far this year on Genea-Musings - about 2.6 per day. I look at the list and say to myself "how does that happen?" Well, I get up, read, write, research, enter data, and repeat all day long until I go to bed. The exception is lunch, dinner, and Padre games. When you spend 8-10 hours a day doing this you can write 2.6 posts a day!
* Read email and blogs, and wrote Visiting the Statue of Liberty -- Post 366 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday. Wrote Free Access to the Revolutionary War Collection Through July 15th and set it for later.
* Worked on the syllabus for the OASIS class and got them done. Still have to do the presentations. There are always changes every quarter. New websites appear, etc.
* Left at 11:10 for McDonalds for lunch, then to the library to sit in on John's group and get a book, then to the CVGS Bored meeting, and it was. Got home by 2:40 p.m. and watched the end of the Padres game. Got a good doze too. Pads lost 7-90 to Mariners, so now 37-43 and off to St. Louis and Pittsburgh now. That should be fun.
* Online at 3:30 p.m. to read, and worked a bit on the industry stats but couldn't find what I wanted. Drat. Wasted an hour and a half.
* Went in at 5:20 p.m. for dinner and watch TV, then put out the trash. Online at 6:10 p.m. to read, write Search 13 Colonies Vital Records on Ancestry.com FREE Through July 5 and then wrote four posts on the CVGS blog and started the July newsletter. Took a break at 8 to show Linda how to use Gmail. A lost cause I fear.
* Checked Facebook and had very few posts in my feed for some reason. Maybe a reboot will help. Or not. Read blogs, then added to the Best Of post. Wrote this post. Genealogy today was 11.0 hours.
