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. This idea came from Randy
Seaver of Genea-Musing, who started this meme.
Genealogy
Blog Writing: I wrote the following blog posts this
week:
- 52
Ancestors in 52 Weeks For week 7, I wrote about
the name “Loveless” for the theme of Love.
- Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. I wrote about how my grandparents met.
Webinars/Study Groups Attended: I participated in:
- AmericanGen Study Group with DearMyrtle about Chapter 19 “Government Land Records”
- Wacky Wednesday
- Monday Morning Group of Contra Costa County Genealogical Society
- Livermore-Amador Genealogical Society on “Tips for Breaking Down Brick Walls”
- Concord Family History Center on “Focused Research: Using Research Plans”
Our Cert Peer Group met and we discussed how to
determine client fees.
Family Writing. I didn’t do any writing this
week.
Other Activities
We visited our daughter in Sebastopol on Tuesday (after I
spent a couple of hours at the History Center). We visited first, Korbel Winery
in Guerneville, where we got a tour and sampled some pretty good champagne. Then
we drove to Windsor to the new Russian River Brewery. After being in line for
30 plus minutes, we got a seat at the bar to taste the Pliny the Younger and
have dinner. It was a great day trip!
At the model club, I re-took the operator’s test and passed
this time! Next week, I’ll take the driving test. Just have to keep “open” vs. “short”
straight in my mind.
