Squirrels, BSO's, Life ...

Genealogy consumes me!  And I love it!  So many family history publishings, genealogy podcasts,  genealogy everything on YouTube, super educational and fun conferences and symposiums, volunteering at the FHC, local library .. I love them ALL!!  I've become a gatherer of family names, family stories and genealogy how-to's.  I have become the conqueror of 'Amateur Genealogy' with a lot of tiny information surrounding me and my office !

So after listening to an inspiring podcast I came up with "Robin's 100 Days" (So original, right?!!)
Started a Google Doc with that title, and whenever I come across a 'genealogy to-do' or a 'great genealogy idea' it goes on the list.  Some take longer than one day.  Some take a couple of hours.  And now, with all those squirrels (and baby Robin birds hatching) and bright shiny objects and lots of life events I stick with a numbered item on my 100's list !!  BTW... Blogging was number 27 and I moved it up to number 5 so I can keep record of my progress more efficiently !  And, I have skipped around a little when asked or required to fulfill a request such as learn Fold3 so I can give a lesson on it to the Avon Lake public library or traveling and it happens to be where an ancestor lived.

Beginning in March 25th-ish I worked on #1 on my list which is FS Memories.  When I was out in Broomfield, CO I taught Jaime how to put a picture in Memories on FamilySearch.org and then record a memory under that picture.  In her case she took a picture of her and Pepper after breakfast - gave it a title ... and now I went into her page ... I'm not seeing the recording under the picture of their voices !!  hummmmm ... must remedy that!
