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
I have written the blog post for 52
Ancestors in 52 Weeks, this week about an heirloom made by my
father-in-law.
I also did a Saturday
Night Genealogy Fun post about which ancestors were alive in 1900. I used
the 1900 U.S. Federal census records to determine this.
No work was done on my portfolio, but I did meet with my
certification discussion group this week for a short time. My internet
connection was spotty on the train as we were passing through the rural areas
outside of Santa Barbara.
I continued to worked on the lesson plans, primarily for the
Immigration and Naturalization class for the upcoming Intermediate classes that
I’m teaching in March for the CCCGS and Concord FHC, and in May for CGS at the
Oakland FHC. There is so much to discuss in that topic and I want to have some
hands on exercises. Luckily, it’s the second class, so I have some extra time.
Travel
Monday we visited the World War II museum in New Orleans. It
was excellent but we only had time to view the three main exhibits. The Road to
Tokyo was very moving and well done.
We rode the Natchez, a real steam boat along the Mississippi
River on Tuesday.
We also toured the St. Louis Cathedral and the Katrina and
Mardi Gras exhibits in the state museum.
Wednesday, we were back on the train for the start of our
return home. We rode the Sunset Limited for two days to Los Angeles and then
the Starlight. It is great to be back home. Our total route for the trip can be seen here:
