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.
Genealogy
Although I was under the weather last week, I did work on
the families that are part of my case study. I got an answer back from the
Catholic church in Anaconda along with images of the baptism. It was just the
one entry with no headings, but it was easily enough to figure out what the
columns represented.
On my portfolio work, I’ve made the decision that I’ll have
to renew and extend another year. I enquired on how to do that, and now must
send in another $75, which will give me until March 2, 2019 to finish up. The
reason I have to extend, is even though I have about six weeks still on the
clock, I have planned trips to Utah and Florida planned which will use up most
of that time. My plan is to go back to working on it in earnest once we are
back from vacation.
We had a Certification Peer Group meeting on Friday. We
discussed our progress (or lack of). I
was under the weather and didn’t get as much done as I wanted. We also
discussed more of North Carolina Research.
Four of us will be at SLIG (Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy) next week and
will get together for a meal, I’m sure.
On blogging: My post for 52 Ancestors in
52 Weeks last week was on my favorite
photo. I couldn’t decide on one, so added a second photo. I also wrote a
post for Saturday
Night Genealogy Fun about my Lancaster line.
I worked the desk at the California Genealogical Society Library in Oakland on Friday. I had three customers in person and two on the phone. It was a busy day. Then on Saturday, the society celebrated their 120th birthday with a party at the Annual Meeting. There was a potluck lunch and birthday cake.

Lastly, I participated in an International German GenealogyConference meeting for the Speaker team, taking the minutes. We have a good
group and it’s getting close for the call for papers to go out. Wednesday was
the DearMyrtle “Mastering Genealogy Documentation Study Group.” We’re almost
done with the book.
Family
We attended the celebration party of the 50th anniversary
for my husband’s cousin, Marguerite & her husband Paul. Their children
pulled off a nice party with a catered buffet dinner, lovely desserts made by
her nephew, Ben, and a great slide presentation of their years together. We
stayed the night at a hotel so we didn’t have to drive home late at night.

I envy your week at SLIG. I haven't made it there yet, but it's on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it very much. Since it's so close to the west coast, I try to make it every year.
