I missed journaling Tuesday again - went to the hygienist, took a nap, did genealogy srtuff, and we went to the Padres game, and lost 8-4 to the Cards. Only blogged a bit, TreeShared and matched folks in the Family Tree. Internet was flaky all day again.
* Today, dropped Linda at 8 a.m., home to read email and blogs, picked her up at 9:30 and we went to Ralphs to grocery shop, home by 10 a.m. and I rested my eyes and added to the Best Of post. Noted that Grandgirls at a 2013 Padres Game -- Post 480 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted.
* Went to McDonalds for lunch, then to the library for books, and the CVGS board meeting. Home by 1 p.m. Wrote Chula Vista Family History Day - Saturday, 30 September 2017 and then searched for a news article and wrote Seavers in the News- Henry E. Seaver Killed by Trolley in 1922.
* Checked Facebook, matched some RM profiles with FS Family Tree. Answered email. Added to the Best Of post.
* Went in at 5:40 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, put out the trash, and online to write the Treasure Chest post and work just a bit in Ancestry Hints. TreeShared RM to AMT.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and read the end of my Sandford book. Padres lost to Cards 3-1 so now 62-78. Only 22 games to go.
* Online at 10:10 p.m. to read, check Facebook, and write this post. Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.

My Genealogy Monday - 4 September 2017
I no sooner posted last Wednesday and Thursday, and went dark again. I blame the Padres - a late game on Friday on TV, we went to the game on Saturday and Sunday. Not much genealogy any of those days besides the usual blog posts.
Really warm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the 90s here. Had some rain and wind from Lidia on Sunday morning. Really humid and cloudy. The high Sunday was 92F which occurred at Midnight. Low was like 78 at 2 p.m. Strange!
* We slept in this Monday morning, I was up by 7:30 but Linda slept until 9:30. We needed it. Read my email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that Labor Day - "There are things that happen in a second that take a lifetime to explain" and Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 27 August to 2 September 2017 posted.
* Answered a bunch of emails, then worked on a blog response. Noted that the last TreeShare didn't work - have no clue why. The persons added and edited the night before were not in my database. Something must have happened. First time ever that RootsMagic didn't save the data even when the computer was rebooted. TreeShared.
* Worked on adding the content I lost adding info from the Obituary Coollection, Legacy, Tributes and GenBank. Noted that Amanuensis Monday - 1741 Account for Estate of Josiah Wood (1687-1753) of Woburn, Mass. posted.
* Went in at 1:40 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and dozed for awhile. Padres lost to Cardinals 2-0, so now 62-76 on the season. We went Saturday and Sunday and won both games, so we are 11-9 on the season in attendance.
* Worked some more on the obituary adds to the database.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner and watch TV. Picked leaves up in the front yard after windstorm Sunday morning.
* Online at 6 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and worked more on the obituary data. Wrote the Treasure Chest Tuesday post. TreeShared to get the new stuff into the AMT. Should have Hints tomorrow!
* Worked accepting and rejecting the Ancestry WebHints for Linda's ancestors.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 9.0 hours.

My Genealogy Wednesday - 30 August 2017
It's been a long time since I journaled - at least 12 days and maybe more. Did you miss my fevered but rote prose? Life has been busy between two visits of the grandkids, and Padres games, and life. Lori and her boys were here from 8/18 to 8/23, and Tami's three kids were here from 8/25 to 8/28. We went to the Padres games on 8/19 and 8/29, and watched the others on TV. I took a nap almost every day!
I was able to keep up with my blog post schedule, writing when I had free time in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I even managed to do some descendants research - mainly mining Ancestry Hints and adding content and sources to the database, syncing RootsMagic to the AMT, and carrying on.
Today was pretty much an all genealogy day, except for naptime and the Padres game on TV.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read and start the wash, then picked her up and home by 9:15 a.m. Noted that Still More San Diego Zoo Fun in May 2013 - Post 479 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted, then wrote RootsTech 2018 Conference Registration Opens September 20, 2017! and set it for later.
* Went in at 10:15 to take my nap, up at 11 a.m. to check email and blogs, then off to lunch at McDonalds and to the library for a book and to attend the CVGS program meeting. There were five speakers on our most exciting research find, and I was #3.
* Home by 2:30 p.m. to read blogs, add to the Best Of post, and search for and write Seavers in the News- John Seaver Walks 100 Miles in 100 hours in 1866. Checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch TV news, fix and eat dinner, then watched the Padres game. Read the paper, put out the trash, washed dishes and read my L.T. Ryan novel on my tablet. Padres beat the Giants 5-0, so now 59-74 on the season. We go Saturday night and Sunday this weekend, then Tuesday night next week.
* Online at 9:40 p.m. to read, then wrote the Treasure Chest post and this post. Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.

My Genealogy Friday - 18 August 2017
Another decent genealogy day with a major error fixed, and some blogging. Lori and the boys come tomorrow for 4 nights, so blogging may be light. Or not.
* Dropped Linda off, went to the medical center for my blood test - I passed, home to read, and picked her up, and home by 9:10 a.m.
* Noted that 52 Ancestors - Week 188: #267 Susanna (Wood) Reed (1724-1780) of Woburn and Marlborough, Massachusetts posted, and added to the Best Of post. Answered some email. Wrote New Records Available to Search This Findmypast Friday, 18 August 2017.
* Had a nap, ate lunch, got the wash started, and online at 12:30 p.m. to start on the Genealogy News post.
* Wrote the Surname and SNGF posts. Then the Ancestry and FamilySearch posts. Went looking for the Catherine Knapp obituary and finally found it. That got me looking for the wife of Charles C. Knapp and I finally figured out that I had conflated two guys with the same name and birth year into one - one ends up in Indiana, the other in Iowa, contemporaneously. Created the second guy, unhooked the wrong guy from the Knapp family, found content and sources, separated them on the Family Tree, and I'm glad I did the other stuff early!
* Noted that Genealogy News Bytes - 18 August 2017 posted, and checked Facebook and Twitter. Washed both cars.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV, then online to double check the Charles Knapp work, and TreeShared the new and changed persons in the database. It won't let me disconnect the guy from his non-parents on the Ancestry Member Tree. I had to do it manually in the AMT, just like I had to do it in the Family Tree.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, read my Kindle book, play two Sudoku games, and wash dishes. Padres lost to Nationals 7-1, so now 54-68 on the season.
* Online at 10 a.m. to read, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

My Genealogy Thursday - 17 August 2017
One more day for genealogy fun - then the grandchildren come to visit. This was a stay-at-home day.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read email and blogs, picked her up and we shopped at Ralphs, home by 9:40 a.m.
* Noted that 1742/3 Marriage Record for Nathan Reed and Susanna Wood in Boston, Mass. - Post 378 of Treasure Chest Thursday posted, added to the Best Of post, and worked in FamilySearch Family Tree matching with RootsMagic persons on a Seaver line. More to do on that line.
* Rested my eyes but couldn't nap, had lunch, then online to answer email and wrote Seavers in the News - Elizabeth Seaver's 1851 Marriage. Answered email, then TreeShared RootsMagic. Got drowsy, so took a nap.
* Checked Facebook and Twitter, then wrote Using WikiTree to Find Relationships to Famous Persons. Added to the Best Of post. Worked on and wrote the 52 Ancestors post.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to eat dinner, read the paper, and watch TV news. Online at 6 p.m. to read, then answered more email. Checked Facebook again.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper and start my new book...but I found I'd already read it. So got the tablet out and started one of the Kindle books. Padres lost 2-1 to the Nationals, so now 54-67 on the year. Did the dishes.

My Genealogy Tuesday and Wednesday - 15-16 August 2017
We went to the Padres game on Tuesday night, so I didn't journal.
1) Tuesday, 15 August 2017:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up and home by 9:15 a.m.
* noted that Treasure Chest Tuesday - 1900 U.S. Census Record for Christena Brookey Household in Clay County, South Dakota posted, added to the Best Of post, answered email, and wrote Tombstone Tuesday - Cornelius Feather (1777-1853) Gravestone.
* Took my 90 minute nap, had lunch, then worked on Genealogy News Bytes - 15 August 2017 and the Wednesday morning post. Checked Twitter and Facebook. TreeShared the RootsMagic database.
* We left at 5 p.m. for the trolley station, ate dinner at Tin Fish, and in Petco Park by 6:30 p.m. Padres won 8-4 over Phillies, so now 53-66 on the season, and we are 8-7 in person (I think). Home by 10:30 p.m. to read and go to bed. Genealogy this day was 7.0 hours.
2) Wednesday, 16 August:
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, picked her up and we went to the 99cent store. Home by 10 a.m.

* Went in for dinner at 5 p.m., watched TV news, put out the trash, and finished the laundry.

My Genealogy Sunday - 13 August 2017
It was a pretty typical summer Sunday here in the genea-cave - church, Padres, some blogging, some research, even a Chargers game.
* Read email and lbogs watching Meet the Depressed, then off to church at 9:30. Went to the grocery store on the way home, home before noon.
* Downloaded several probate files from American Ancestors, noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 6 to 12 August 2017 posted, then went in and had lunch.
* Watched Padres game, napped a bit, read the paper, and then my book. Padres lost to Dodgers 6-4 in another well played game - so now 51-65 on the season and 3-7 on the road trip. We go on Tuesday.
* Online at 4 p.m. to read, then transcribed the probate record for Amanuensis Monday.
* Went in for dinner at 5 p.m., watched the Chargers preseason game. I'm still going to root for the players, but Spanos can go to wherever...the first half was close, didn't watch the second half, but they lost to Seattle 48-17. Way to excite the LA fans, Deano.
* Online at 6:30 to read, noted that Added or Updated Ancestry.com Databases - Week of 6 to 12 August 2017 posted and posted All Census Records at MyHeritage Are FREE August 14-20. Wrote the Amanuensis Monday post.

My Genealogy Saturday - 12 August 2017
I didn't sleep well last night, and was really tired all morning. After the nap, I felt better, but then after dinner I watched the Padres game.
* Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read emails and blogs, picked her up, and home by 9:20 a.m. to note that Surname Saturday - DELCOUR (Switzerland to Colonial New York) posted. Gathered my stuff and was off to the SDGS meeting.
* Got there by 9:45 and talked to folks, then watched Steve Morse's first talk which was funny and informative. Talked to D at the break about Alzheimers and her father-in-law, what an ordeal. Was really tired, so came home, arriving by noon.
* Read, then lay down for a nap. 90 minutes later I was refreshed and had some snacks. Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Genealogy Database Statistics posted, answered email, and wrote three posts on the CVGS blog, and the Ancestry and FamilySearch weekly posts.
* Checked some MyHeritage trees for smart matches in the McKnew family, and matched RootsMagic persons with FamilySearch Family Tree persons.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner, watch TV news, read the paper, and watch the Padres game. Read my book too. Padres lost 6-3 to Dodgers in a tight game well played by both teams. So now 51-65 on the season, 3-6 on the road trip, and 3-8 vs. the Dodgers on the season.
* Online at 10 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, check Facebook and write this post. Genealogy today was 4.5 hours.
