Pulling out my already thinning hair! Do-Over day one of week one is much bigger than I thought.
The magic email from Thomas MacEntee arrived in my email at 9:00 pm last night. That must mean he's three hours ahead of me. I am in Southern California. I read through it and then read it again. No problem, I got this! Jumping out of bed this morning, I he...

Genealogy Do-Over - Week Three - What I learned from the "Real" Genealogists
I have played with everyone's research logs. Some I like, some I find difficult, and some have great features I wish were all incorporated into one. In the many (many, many) years I have worked with my family history, I have never tracked anything. The Do-O...
