I have completed one hundred forty-two (142) weeks of semi-lockdown due to Covid-19. I volunteered at the History Center on Tuesday and was sick with a non-Covid illness the rest of the week.
Genealogy
Blog Writing: I posted a few extra posts this week while I was still feeling well.
Wrong Side of the Law: Finding Those Surprising Reports in Newspapers. I wrote about how locating newspaper articles pointed me to court records.
Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: My Thanksgiving Day We were to share our Thanksgiving Day this year.
Davey Family: Sorting Through Some Deaths in Indiana. I wrote about a couple of death certificates I found in a new-to-me database on Ancestry.
Happy Thanksgiving! I shared an old-time postcard depicting Thanksgiving greetings.
Happy Thanksgiving! On my Mam-ma’s Southern Family blog, I posted a copy of the turkey and stuffing recipe my mother shared with me. It is what we cooked for Thanksgiving.
Meetings/Discussion Groups
Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, there were no meetings or discussion
groups scheduled except for my weekly talk with Jacqueline.
Volunteer
I volunteered at the History Center
on Tuesday and worked on the photos in PastPerfect to prepare for uploading to
the website.
Client Work
I corrected the last of the
homework from my AppGen course.
Own Work
I continued working on the Ruben Mack Johnston genealogy and finished working
on child number 8, Woodie, and his descendants and child number 9, Lillie
Estelle Nina. She had only one daughter who had no children. There is one more child, child number 11, Oral
Dotterage, which I will work on this week.

Other:
I joined
my friends on a hike to Mullholland Ridge in Moraga.
Thursday morning, woke with a sore throat. I tested negative and over the days it moved into my chest with a deep cough. Being too sick to go to Train Club for the show, I spent most of the time resting, napping, and reading. I watched some World Cup soccer: the US against England, and Spain against Germany, in which both games ended in ties.
Photos
for this week:
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.
I love your landscape photo this week.
