Birthday Trip to Madison County Genealogy Library

avatar

Today, I had off work for my birthday (although my birthday was a few days ago, today is the day I took off work) so I was going to drive over to Madison County to the Genealogy Society Library. There has been a lot of talk from the local weathermen that we are going to get a lot of snow and ice later today but it isn’t supposed to start until later this afternoon. I got there but the library was closed (probably due to the coming weather). Oh Well, at least I found the library and I will just have to come back on a later date.

I am going to just have to write and ask someone from the genealogy society to look up the obits that I was going to look for today! Hopefully, I will find something that directly connects my Frederick Keck to his parents Andrew and Issa Keck, maybe through one of the brothers or sisters.

I did get some of info updated in my Legacy Family Tree software today though so it turned out to be a good genealogy day after all.

Aside

Grandma Treat: Ruth Janie Harriet Lawrence Treat

Today would have been Grandma Treat’s birthday. She would have been 91 years old today. Sometimes it seems like only yesterday that she died but other times it seems like forever. Today, it hit me that she died 20 years ago! She was a good woman who loved God and her family. What better thing can be said about anyone?

WCAGS: Washington County Genealogy Society Meeting

Today was a good day. I had a meeting of my local genealogy society: the Washington County Arkansas Genealogical Society. We meet the second Sunday of each month at the Headquarters House in Fayetteville Arkansas at 2pm. This month we started a two-part workshop on the census! We had approximately 50 in attendance!! It was wonderful!!

A New Year/A New Decade

avatar

It’s a new year and a new decade! I have decided that this really will be the year that I get my genealogy stuff organized. I am starting through the Dear Myrtle Organization Lists. I found them online in an archive of the rootsweb mailing lists.

I have imported all my old information into the Legacy Family Tree and I am updating the online information at my website.

Happy New Year!!

Carroll Family Information

avatar

Today, I spent some time entering the information from the personal family papers that my brother-in-law gave me on his family, the Carroll Family. He had a notebook with some typewritten names and dates and a few sheets of notebook paper with some family information on them. I got all of this entered. This added about 106 people to my genealogy information!

I will be adding more information on Kevin’s Family as soon as I finish adding my current information to the Legacy Software from the Master Genealogist information. Hopefully, I will finish that project soon!
