Genealogy
Genealogy Volunteer/Work:
I made three trips to the History Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I’m
still working on the library database but also did some email and in-person research
requests. I also took minutes for the historical society board meeting and the
Sonoma County Genealogical Society board meeting. I also meeting with the
History Center volunteers about the Stein Collection.
I gave a presentation to the Fiske Library in Seattle on Wednesday called “How to Leave Your Genealogy.”
Genealogy Meetings: Jacqueline and I met. I also attended the renewal accountability group and the Kinseekers Military SIG. Josh and I met in the Peer Group meeting and talked about certification.
Genealogy Writing/Research: Josh and I wrote for an hour during our writing accountability session on Friday. Other research I did was on the Hutson and Selman lines, leading to the blog posts.

History is the Stories of our Families
For the theme of “what this story means to me,” I
couldn’t come up with one story and decided all my family stories are important
to me. These were highlighted on Friday
Family History Finds and Crème
de la crème.
I wrote two posts about the Hutson/Selman families on my other blog.

SNGF– Do Some FamilySearch Full-Text Searching – Looking for Selman
I was excited by this week’s theme as I got to do
more full-text searching on my Hutson project. This time, I focused on Sarah
Selman’s father, Greenlee B Selman.
Lastly, I celebrated 15 years of blogging on Mam-ma’s Southern Family. Happy 15th Blogiversary!
