I have completed seventy-two (72) weeks of semi- “lock down” due to Covid-19. I did not go out much this week due to attending IGHR virtually. I walked during lunch most days and walked twice with my husband. I picked up two books from the library and returned a package that Amazon sent incorrectly. It was sent again incorrectly, so I gave up buying that item, which must be mislabeled at the warehouse.
Genealogy
Blog
Writing: I
wrote two posts this week.
52 Ancestors—Week 30: Health—Finding Rev. Albert M. Hork’s Death Certificate & a Tip I wrote how I found an elusive and mis-indexed death record for my great-grandfather’s brother.
Saturday Night Genealogy Fun—Tell Us About Your Favorite
Aunt or Uncle I wrote about my dad’s
sisters.
Online Study Groups &
Meetings Attended: I met twice with both my AppGen partners
and with Jacqueline. Jacqueline and I
met to discuss the DNA class we were taking. I also had a nice conversation
with Alex from my certification peer group. It was just the two of us.
Webinars & Classes Attended: I watched two webinars this week:
- Irfanview 2 by Ron Madson
- Baptism Records by Kathy Worth
Client Work/Presentations:
I have moved closer to
finishing up the plan for the Land course. In the process, I got more ideas to
add to my farming talk, which I’m giving again in September.
Volunteer & Own Work:
I co-hosted Ron Madsen’s class again
for the California Genealogical Society. I stopped by the Contra Costa County
Historical Society’s History Center to meet with John about his next archiving
project.
Other:
I both
San Francisco Giants games and some Olympics. I missed the gymnastics but saw
some badminton, beach volleyball, street skateboarding, and lots of swimming.
I’m
reading the following books (I know, I’m crazy):
- Marcel’s
Letters by
Carolyn Porter
- Girl
Waits with a Gun by Amy Stewart
- Zotero
for Genealogists by Donna Cox Baker
Photos for this week: Some more photos of flowers from my yard and neighborhood.
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.
