Well, it was exciting to me, at least!
* Read email and blogs, made Surname Saturday - WATHEN/WORTHEN (England > Massachusetts) post, and wrote Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Do Some Random Research.
* Decided I'd better get my column finished up before the editor complains that I'm late. Now I need to edit it a bit.
* Worked in the database for awhile, adding content and sources, and deleting extraneous families for whom I have no information and can find no useful or consistent information. good riddance!. Did a little weeding in the front yard too.
* We went to Lolita's for dinner, then home to watch the Padres lose 2-1 to the Giants (best game of the year, though! Darn errors and bad luck. Bass had a perfecto through 5.2 innings).
* Online at 8:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, get it ready for posting, wrote an Amanuensis Monday post, and worked in Find-a-Grave for awhile. Got through 640 in Seaver.
* Wrote this post.
Genealogy today was 9.0 hours.
Database progress: Persons - 41,267, Events = 111,686, Places = 5314, Citations = 28,252.
Genealogy and family research are an obsession for me. Yea, verily, I am a Geneaholic!

My exciting genealogy day - 27 April 2012
Less than two weeks until we leave on our vacation to Europe. I have so much to do, and didn't get much of it done today. Again. At least the Padres won again.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Follow-Up Friday - Helpful and Interesting Reader Comments.
* Captured screens and wrote up Using RootsMagic 5 to Add to the FamilySearch Family Tree.
* Left at 11 a.m. for the doctor's office. Home by 12:30 to eat lunch and read, then had to go ut again to the gas station, church and the bank because I forgot to do it earlier. Drat.
* Wrote the Surname Saturday post, and found some resources on AA that I didn't have, so downloaded 35 pages of NEHGR articles. Added the vital info to the database, but need the notes too. Will have to do that later!
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to eat dinner. Back online by 6 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write CVGS Program Summary - Dr. Steven Baird and another post.
* Went in at 7 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, and then finished the Connelly novel. forgot about WDYTYA...drat. Pads won 5-3 over the Giants (now 7-14, won 4 of 6).
* Online at 10:15 to read, then write this post.
Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.

My exciting genealogy day - 26 April 2012
It was a busy genealogy day, and then my Padres won tonight.
* Online early to read, then noted that Treasure Chest Thursday - Zachariah and Hannah Hildreth Death Records posted. Wrote Ancestry/Archives Comment Compendium.
* Packed up the laptop and left at 9:10 a.m. for Norman Park Center for the CVGS program to beginners. It started at 10 a.m., featured Susi, Randy, John and Janice, and was well received. I gave my 40 minute version of Genealogy - Be An Ancestry Detective.
* Stopped at McDonalds for lunch and was home by 1 p.m. Read everything, noted that the Ancestry.com TOS flap was fixed as I hoped it would be, and wrote Adding "Cause of Death" Fact to RootsMagic 5.
* Worked in the database for several hours, adding Cause of Death information, and BMD information for people without birth dates, mainly using the Mass VRs on American Ancestors and Ancestry census records to obtain data.
* Worked for 30 minutes on the back door screen installation, had dinner, and back online at 6 p.m. to read, check Facebook, and do some more database work.
* Went in at 7 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper and then my Michael Connelly book. Padres won 2-1 over Washington (6-14 on the season).
* Back online at 10 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write this post.
Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.
Database People = 41,267, Events = 111,635, Places = 5,309, Sources = 759, Citations = 28,125.

* Read email and blogs, noted that (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 202: The Baseball Guys posted and wrote Dear Randy - Can You Describe Your Genealogy Workflow?
* Printed off 30 copies of my handout, got the laptop and CVGS bag together, and off at 10:15 to my PEO talk on "Genealogy - Be An Ancestor Detective" in Old Town.
* Got there early, got the laptop up and hooked up, and started at 11:10 a.m. Finished at 11:45, answered questions , disconnected, and off at 12 noon for the CVGS meeting.
* Got to the CV library at 12:25 p.m., and enjoyed the meeting and the speaker. Stuck around for awhile to meet with colleagues on Thursday talk.

* Went in to watch the Padres game, read the paper, take a nap, and eat dinner (we lost to Nats 7-2, now 5-14).
* Back online at 6 p.m. for the Judy Russell webinar. Two hours non-stop of excellent legal advice about copyright. Judy answered questions for 45 minutes.

My genealogy day - 24 April 2012

My genealogy day - 20 April 2012
19 days until we go on our cruise. I need to start writing posts for those two weeks. Also need to work on the two cruise talks.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Follow-Up Friday - This Week's Reader Comments and Questions.

My genealogy day - 19 April 2012
It was a stay at home genealogy day, and then a night out!
* Read email and blogs, wrote Treasure Chest Thursday - 1950 San Diego Plat Map. Then wrote Patriot's Day: My Revolutionary War Soldiers.
* Worked a bit on my FORUM column, but nowhere near done. Did some research on smart phones, tablets and readers. Updated apps on the Samsung and the iPhone. Went out and weeded the walkway a bit.
* Had fun finding Ted in the census, and wrote up Ted Williams in the 1940 U.S. Census. Did a batch of FamilySearch Indexing - still in Glendale, Los Angeles County, CA.
* Worked in the database for several hours (hmmm, need to work on my column, and get the two talks for May ready, and work on my two new talks for July) adding content and sources. Now through the "Al" people. "Am" people up next. At this rate, the database will be in good shape by about 2015.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to read the paper, and we left at 5:30 for dinner in Coronado and then to Lamb's Players Theater for "Brownie Points." A chick play, but funny and interesting. Short too, which was good.
* Home by 9:30 to watch the 9th inning of the Padres/Phillies game. We lost 2-0 (now 3-11).
* Online to add to the Best Of post, check Facebook and write this post.

My genealogy day - 18 April 2012
Not a very exciting day genealogy-wise or Padres wise...lost again.
* Read email and blogs, wrote (Not So) Wordless Wednesday - Post 201: Christmas 1967 and then CGSSD Meeting on Saturday, 21 April on Computer Security.
* Edited the two talks for next week.
* Wrote Results from Ancestry.com Autosomal DNA Test - Post 2 and set it for later. The Blogger scheduler isn't working now... hope it gets fixed soon!
* Packed up and went off at 11 a.m. to McDonalds for lunch, the bank and the library for the CVGS Computer Group. That could have gone better - too many computers not working, and too slow on the Internet. Got lost in Chronicling America - couldn't find the newspaper search field. Drat. Found several people in the census for others.
* Home by 2 p.m. to read, then wrote I Found a Bride of Frankenstein in the 1940 U.S. Census and set it for later. Worked in the database for awhile, finding dates/places in American Ancestors and Ancestry census records.
* Went out at 4:15 p.m. to mow the front lawn. In by 5 p.m. to read the paper, then watch the Padres, eat dinner, put out the trash, and wash the dishes. Read a bit of my new Ireland Research book. Padres lost 8-4 to Rockies (now 3-10).
* Online at 8:30 p.m. to read, did a batch of FamilySearch Indexing, added to the Best Of post, checked in on Facebook, and wrote this post.
