Outside activities included an eye doctor appointment, train club show, and phenology. I spent much of the days researching and writing.
Genealogy
Genealogy Volunteer/Work:
I worked Dean at the History Center and entered entered more books into the
library database from his donation.
Genealogy Meetings:
Jacqueline and I met while she
was on the road heading back up to Oregon and I enjoyed hearing about Stewart’s
birthday party. The only other meeting this week was the CCCGS’ Genealogy Café.
Genealogy Writing/Research: I continued working on the Wollenweber family, this week writing and researching about his wife, Philippina Voehringer and her family. I submitted a piece about Louis W. Wollenweber for peer review in the Writing for Discovery course, and I gave feedback on two other pieces.

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.
