For the past few days, I have been working on my Genea-Bloggers Group Games events. I have added descriptions and tags to 43 images that I have saved in the database of my great-great grandfather, Miles Francis Stanley I.
Part of that time was spent trying to figure out the best way to describe/tag/upload using the [...]

Seaver, that is. On his Geneaholic blog, Randy documents his genealogy activities each day.
I have decided to try something similar in hopes of keeping myself focused! Lately it seems most of my genealogy activies are centered around my Google Reader and Facebook page. Maybe it’s just too hot to do anything else (predicted to be [...]

My desk is still here! Thank goodness! I thought I’d lost it forever…
Actually, it was here all along, just hidden under piles of genealogy stuff. All that is filed away in the appropriate surname folder in my handy-dandy-two-drawer filing cabit. I may soon need another drawer, but that will be for another garage sale day!
I [...]

I have been busy this week with my Turner family research. I have been reviewing each person in my Family Tree Legends database and making sure that all sources are in place and correctly documented. I have also been adding images to each person’s file. As I go from one person to another, I occasionally [...]

…so to speak. I moved the Mary Tennessee Turner story that I had written for the Carnival of Genealogy a couple of months ago to my footnote.com profile. This way, the footnote location stays active, as I now have Mary’s story there, as well as that of Dr N B Kennedy. I will continue to [...]

Denise from Family Matters has created a very helpful research guide to TiddlyWiki in pdf format. I have started using TiddlyWiki in my own research and have been wondering how to add images to my wiki, and Denise’s instructions made it all… so simple! Thanks, Denise!

Denise at Family Matters has added an excellent post that defines TiddlyWiki and shows how it can help with genealogy research. I set one up today, and it looks very promising.

I have been working diligently on the biography story page of Dr. Nathan Blunt Kennedy at footnote.com. I have been uploading documents in support of the story, and in doing so have reexamined many of those documents. And, I have discovered a few new clues along the way. It certainly pays to check out your [...]

I have completed the Bennett family research (for now). I was able to document 9 generations, from my own granddaughter back to Joshua F Bennett, her 6th great-grandfather! I don’t have every document there is to have, and, in the interest of my sanity, I only researched 2 generations laterally. But certainly enough to establish [...]
