I have completed one hundred twenty-two (122) weeks of semi-lock down due to Covid-19. I volunteered at the history center and FamilySearch Library, attended a thank you party, and drove to Santa Rosa twice to visit Elizabeth.

Blog Writing:
Extended Family – Helen M. Gleeson, Teacher, Principal, & Superintendent I wrote about one of my 2x-great-aunt, who was a school teacher.
Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: Your Favorite Summer Memory I wrote about how I spent a typical summer.
Online Study Groups &
Meetings Attended:
I met with my certification mentee this week. It was the only online meeting I
attended.

Work/Presentations:
I worked on the school presentation for an upcoming presentation this coming
week.
Volunteer Work:
I volunteered at the History Center on Tuesday. I scanned probate records. I’m

Library. Hardly anyone was there, so I worked on my own projects.
Own Work:

historical society.
Webinars Viewed: I attended no presentations again this
week.
Other: We visited Elizabeth and Doobie on the 4th and again with Margaret on the 9th. On the first trip, we drove to St. Helena for dinner at a hamburger joint and then returned to her place for some games of YamSlam!

are great at documenting our ancestors’ lives but not so great at 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.
Lovely photos! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something appealing about photos of doors. You are giving me a nudge to post about my weeks. Maybe one of these days.
