I’m doing a little researching around today to try to fill in some of the holes in my database from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

I bought the book with the intention of looking up some of the original documents that were referenced within it. Today, I finally looked up the records listed there in my direct line.

FGS day 2 (for me)
Okay, so I’ve got an hour or so before the blogger reception across the street from the conference location, which should be enough time for today’s recap. I didn’t get any photos yet; there may be a few later tonight at the blogger reception, so watch tomorrow. I was able to talk to the FamilySearch rep about what I missed on Tuesday, so there’ll be some of that in here too….
Can you guess where I am?
I got up early and drove for five hours this morning. Just before lunch, I arrived here….
