I have completed one hundred thirty-seven (137) weeks of semi-lockdown due to Covid-19. I have been more careful around people and have stayed home more, except for volunteering at the History Center & Oakland FamilySearch Library. I hiked with some friends at Valle Vista and dined with Norman’s cousins, Eric and Melissa.

Blog Writing:
Lost: How I Got Around the Loss of the 1890 Census. I wrote about the records I used to find addresses of family.

I had no meetings or discussion group meetings this past week.

I volunteered this week at the

Family History Center, I worked the front desk. On Saturday, I co-hosted the
CGS webinar.

I
took a few walks in the neighborhood, hiked at Valle Vista, and attended training
on bio-engineering, which is a way to stabilize stream banks with willow
cuttings. We had a nice dinner at Spinster Sister in Santa Rosa with family.
From the list above, I read a lot of books and took naps most days. I’m finally
feeling better from Covid.

for this week: From Valley Vista
Genealogists 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.
