Family Tree Frog

    How are you going with your Family History Bingo card for August, National Family History Month? One more day to go and I had hoped to achieve them all but some are still languishing. There have been so many great posts this week and I was particularly impressed by Jill Ball's bucket list , Pauleen's questions about succession and Claire's take on where she was and what was happening during the Census at various times in her life. I've had an extraordinarily busy week with babysitting for four days, bookclub one night, bridge another night, lunch with Dad and his partner for their birthdays and a sewing workshop.  Not much family history got done let me tell you! And so today, I vowed to make a start on a few fronts Plan a Research Trip This has not happened. Record an oral history interview  Nor has this.   Cap Badge for Navy - Edwin Conner born 1869 Portsea, England died Sydney Harbour 1927 Preserve a family heirloom I spoke to Dad today about plans for Father

  testing testing 123123123 this is the third blog or rather the third week of the genie life in lockdown blogging challenge I was really pleased to see Jill bull Ball take up the challenge and demonstrate her love of learning bye by trying out c Carmel's tips and tricks to aid with genealogy practice by dictating her first blog post. I have decided 2 to emulate her this week by dictating my blog post using speech to text In Word. So far so good. It is still early days for me and I'm not entirely comfortable with dictating. Particularly telling the machine punctuation marks! But by degrees, I'm getting there. (I've left in the typos so you can see how accurate it is or not.) So what have I achieved this week family history was wise? Not much I confess.    But I guess what I have been doing he's is creating memories. Having had my second Etsy (ha ha AZ) shot like late last week, I was able to babysit Frankie this week. We created lots of memories together
