Today is St. Nicholas Day. We celebrated this in Belgium. I remember singing the song that Santa sings to the Dutch girl in Miracle on 34th street. I remember doing a performance with the kids in my school, in the church in our village. It was packed, and I remember the burlap bag of chocolate coins and sticks we got. I wish that I had some clogs to have left out last night! Well, I have tiny ceramic ones ion my shadow box!

Here is a link to a page about St. Nicholas.

On a more pertinent note, I got all of the pages on my PowerPoint "sourced"!

No serious blog today. Got in late, due to the weather. School is closed today, and there is a terrible storm out there, not really that bad at this moment, cold and windy, but from what I can see the worst is ahead of us...Maybe I will get snowed in tomorrow?! We can only hope!

 

Anyhow, I have a ton of Monday things to get done, and I am feel like I am running up an icy hill where all of it is concerned! Yikes!

 

Anyhow, that is that, might have time to work on the family tree tonight, I did read some on the bus, but I didn't really learn anything new... I still have to finish sourcing the rest of my power point, just when I think that I have done it all, I see that I have not... Oh Joy! So, I might do that... who knows...

 

That is all for now, back to work as it were...

Been updating my PowerPoint still. I have a few more pages I want to enter on my Great great great great grandfathers parents. I have names, but not much more than that. I am still working on listing my sources on it all... Then I will start reading my books again. Maybe not the one that seems like it is for 12 year olds! I also have podcasts I can listen to the next episode, because I will be caught up on. Oh wait, there is something that I am not clear on in that podcast. It said that the social security index should be free, but I w asked to pay... I think that I got taken away from the free site, I was mislead.

Anyhow, time to relax and watch football, Bears now, Cowboys next!
We are the division leaders right now, woohoo!

No blog today. Super busy with kids and holiday prep. Got an email from my uncle today. IT MADE MY HEART SING!

I have been entering my sources in my family history power points, as I read I need to...so I must, so I do.

Now, a few minutes of rest, then back to work.

Happy Saturday all!

Not exactly the normal sort of update... Today I helped Marie go through the steps to get her new birth certificate. All we have to do is mail off the paperwork tomorrow, once I have gotten stamps!

As for the rest of it... this morning I updated the PowerPoints so that they are by generation. For one, because it is so big that it is not email-able. Two, because this way, I can see for sure, that I have back to my GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandparents! Woohoo!

I am going to send out the letters that I wrote to family tomorrow, again, when I have stamps.

I am not going to update anymore today, I am behind at work because of a visit from Marie to my office, we had lunch and visited, it was nice. She gave me some nice pens, to replace the nice pens she always steals from me! LOL

These are things that I found on findagrave.com. This is by far the best website I have found.

Today I will spend putting sources on all of the information that I have. I will also be breaking down the PowerPoint that I have by family groups. I am also going to, if I have time, make a family group worksheet that I can import into my iPad, so that I can work while I am out and about.
