Busy Busy Week

It has been a busy couple of weeks.  I am really hoping I do not let this Blog fall by the wayside!  Have to keep writing, but there have been more Webinars and Radio shows and new documents to be found!  Of course I have also been reading so many wonderful Blogs.  Some of these people have so much going on, some are GIVING the Webinars not just watching.  They must have much more energy than I do ~laughs~

I was over at Find A Grave this past week, found a cousin, Wendy Kreider had lots of posts and they were very helpful.  Wendy has always been very generous with sharing her time and documents, I am very grateful.  Wendy has also offered to send more corrections and additions for the McManigle Family Website.  Another cousin, Dixie Deaton sent me a few Death Certificates and obituaries!  Aren't cousins wonderful!  Thank you Cousins!

I have also been trying to become organized!  oh my  I just do not think that will ever be possible!  There are so many documents and pictures that need to be scanned and entered into the Legacy Family Tree software.  I am starting late, but Dear Myrtle has her Organization for 2011 blogs which I am trying to play catchup.  Almost every time I try to organize myself, I end up running in circles and then get into a mind numbing game or if I am really good, I will head over to Family Search or Ancestry and transcribe a few records.  At least transcribing I don't feel like I am wasting all my time ~laughs~.

Getting late, so heading off to bed, will really try to write more often. . . night

Webinars

I have now watched the three Ancestry webinars on "First Steps 1-3"

• First Steps #1:  Getting Started on Ancestry.com
• First Steps #2:  Tips for Successful Searches 
• First Steps #3:  Now What?  How to Use Your Discoveries to Make Your Next Big Find

I have been using Ancestry forever, or at least it sometimes feels that way, but I was pleasantly surprised at all that I did not know!  ~laughs~  surprise surprise!  I would definitely recommend these Webinars

As I have been exploring Blogs lately, I have found so many interesting Blogs.  I didn't make note of them all, wish I had.  I was feeling guilty for being so easily distracted again!   GeneaWebinars  is a great place to look for available Webinars.  I got lost there more than once checking out the Webinars and signing up for quite a few of them.

Guess what I found in my "Draft"  ~laughs~  when I lost this I did not think to look in Drafts.  Thank you DearMyrtle for your Webinar this morning on Twitter/TweekDeck Workshop.  All of DearMyrtle's bogs and Webinars have been very helpful.  So I will be Tweeking my Blog page!

Still trying to find the problem on my images not appearing on the McManigle Family Website.  For some reason it looks like when the pictures links appear on the website, they are trying to access my hard drive.  Even I know that won't work ~laughs~  Sent another help ticket out to Legacy, maybe they can find the problem.  I am in the process of uploading the pages again for the 4th time today, all 17,000 + pages!!!
