Randy Seaver of
Genea-Musing started this meme and I loved the idea. Genealogists are great at
documenting our ancestors’ lives but not so great documenting our own. I’ll
write about what I’ve been doing the past week.

1. Genealogy Courses
This week I atteded Rick Sayre’s Advanced Land Tools: Maps class at SLIG (Salt Lake Institute of
Genealogy). We had five full days of classes and a banquet on Friday night. I learned so much about how to accessed maps online and offline, how to
overlay old maps onto Google Earth, and how to plot land both on paper and in a
program called DeedMapper. Check out my blog posts about my SLIG experience.

2. Blogs
I posted several blog posts about the Salt Lake Institute of
Genealogy using the hashtag #SLIGExperience. Each of the posts were entered in
a contest.
I also posted this week’s post for 52 Ancestors. The theme
this week was who we’d invite to dinner. Check it out here.
Travel
Returned home on Saturday aboard Southwest. Our trip was pretty quick and we arrived almost thirty minutes before the scheduled arrival.
After being picked up, we stopped by to visit with my friend's granddaughter and seeing her new baby.
