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.
I have completed forty-seven (47) weeks of semi- “lock down” due to Covid-19. I left the house this past week to teach my online class from the classroom at the Acalanes Adult School on Monday, took two walks with my husband, and did phenology with Shirley on Thursday. I got some outdoor weeding in. The Oxalis is overtaking the yard from this wonderous rain we have had.

Week 5: In the Kitchen—The Place Everyone Hung Out. I shared some photos taken in the kitchen of my childhood home during some family.
Saturday Day Night Genealogy Fun—Where Were Your Ancestral Families in 1920?. We listed our families who were alive in 1920 and I found 25 of my daughter’s ancestors alive, and managed to get back to their 3x-great-grandparents.
