September Ruminations

I've been quite out of the geneablogging loop this month, with my attentions directed to other projects. I'm planning a cool little trip for October though, and might have to post about that in the coming days.

------------

September Accomplishments
  • I completed the last three in a series of six blog books not related to genealogy. 
  • I came upon a series of letters my mom wrote to her parents in 1943-44, and now have yet another Blurb book project under way!
And in the other column . . .
  • Blog hiatus! Currently I am all about Blurb bookmaking!

About Me

My Photo
I was probably 14 when I read about genealogy in Reader's Digest. I went straight to my grandmother and pressed her to tell me all she knew. I took notes on a piece of scrap paper with a purple ballpoint pen. But I didn't know how to organize the information, so I lost interest until 1986, when I came upon blank pedigree charts and family group sheets at a bookstore. The rest is history, lots of it, and I'll share some with you here...
