I’ll wait for the final final before moving everything to RM8.Ģ020 October: Still same COVID pandemic, still same slow motion free fall. RootsMagic released a beta version RM8 for anyone to evaluate- it’s pretty awesome. I’ve found birth, baptism and marriage records for the Frerichs, Henrichs and Roose families with more details on their actual home place. One positive is the Ancestry Library Edition can be used from home so I can access international and all Ancestry records through my library card log in from home. “Grace, dau of Thomas Bett”Ģ021 January: And still, same COVID pandemic, still same slow motion free fall. Barely readable, written on or around January 24, 1629, a volunteer transcribed this. Here’s Grace Bett, last on the list her baptism in London, St Giles’ Cripplegate parish, she’s last on the list with her dad, Thomas. Volunteers indexed the records, incredible. Ancestry Library edition at home continues, it is awesome, these handwritten records from England, Germany, Netherlands. Family history is hit or miss, early morning is most promising, weekends are 50/50, I open RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker about once a month.

I may wait awhile to install the software, can’t wait to work with it.Ģ021 March: Same COVID but with vaccines, most likely for everyone in USA by summer. User comments on the Facebook group are mostly complaints, things not working quite right. RootsMagic 8 is a go, released in the last couple days. Feeling like I’ve lost a thread of family history, maybe forgotten a lot, not spending as much deep focus time working on people, their stories, so many great stories. townie.Ģ021 October: Summer and Fall, Iowa is back where we were this time last year, COVID and leadership wise. My dad’s family probably did, country vs. My mom is pretty sure they did not have a kitchen sink in 1950. This back side wasn’t scanned so isn’t included in transcriptions, details.

The 1950 census had a back side page with answers on lifestyle: a kitchen sink, a television, etc. I’ve added this census to a few families. The 1950 US Census was released in April, pretty cool. Serious family history research happens maybe once a month or so. The thread I lost in October 2021, still very thin, hard to see sometimes.

I like the way Chris Rock talked about race in 2014, “To say Obama is progress is saying that he’s the first black person … qualified … there’s been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years … smart, educated … my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced.”Ģ022 July: Winter, Spring & Summer.

She was just as awesome, capable and smart at age 18, but was a woman- so no vote until current social customs ruled she was good enough.

My great grandma couldn’t vote until she was 29 years old.

language and vocabulary are sometimes puffed up and pretentious with a tone of exclusivity.Īnd: of all the facts I collect, gender and race are the least useful, providing the least actual information, unless in social contexts.

it seems like there’s no standard for anything except the 1996 GEDcom.family history is online only recently, for everyone, large sums of money and travel time no longer required.‘ Each life has its place‘ is from the song Virginia Woolf by the Indigo Girls, 1992.
