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 8, I wrote the family photos of
the Nils Malkom Nilsen family in Hilmar, California.
- Saturday
Night Genealogy Fun. I wrote about my first trip to Sutro Library.
- “Applying
Evidence to Genealogical Research Questions,” by Melissa Johnson, CG for
BCG
- “Online
Sources for French Genealogy, Part I” by Paul Woodbury for Legacy
FamilyTree Webinars
- “Constructing
Clear Citations” by Tom Jones, CG for APG Writers SIG
Our Cert Peer Group did not meet
because too many of us were unavailable.
Two volunteer gigs this week at the History Center on
Tuesday and at California Genealogical Society’s library on Friday.
Lastly, signups for GRIP was this Wednesday and I got
class I wanted, Practical Genetic Genealogy, which will be held July 14-19. I’m
going to share a room with Jacqueline. It’ll be lots of fun.
Other Activities
It was a beautiful day on Monday where we pulled weeds and
trimmed plants in the native garden at the John Muir NHP visitor’s center.
Several of the plants were blooming nicely.
At the model club, I took the driver’s test and passed! I
messed up at one of the reverse loops but I guess I didn’t mess up enough to
fail.
Saturday we visited Norman’s brother and sister-in-law in
Sacramento and went to BJs for dinner. We had to charge the car twice so
shopped at Walmart.
I attended the play “White Guy on the Bus” at the Campbell
Theater put on by the Women of Words theater group. It was pretty intense and
thought provoking but I enjoyed it.
