66 with a high of 79 and muggy, storms later

My neighbours went to Barrie this weekend to run for the Relay for Life.

Norma,I think that there aren't very many genealogy bloggers in the county, I've

only found one other one so far. OLd Time Corner's author is a newfound cousin,

our common ancestors are my 4th great-grandparents, Aexander Taylor and Grace

Duncan.



I'm so proud of my youngest son, he has been staying at his grandparents house,

helping take care of his grandfather. He's been going in to work late for a

couple of months so that he can help get him up in the morning. He was given

last rights a few days ago and is bedridden now. My son has some other job

opportunities which pay more than double what he's making now but he doesn't

want to because he wouldn't be able to help his grandmother. He says that the

jobs will still be there but he wants to help his grandma out as much as he can

now, that's what's more important to him.

92 very hot deg. this afternoon.   I puttered for a while outside this morning

and it was hot, very hot.   After lunch, I cooled off in the pool and now I will

be in for the remainder of the day.  A/C is working like it's supposed to and

very quiet.

Going to tackle another stack of papers on my desk next.  I am so pleased with

the progress I have made, that it is encouranging me to do more.

Earline, I think you have every right to be proud of that young man.   My

gracious, how many men today would put family above their income.  A truly

gallant act - he must think a lot of his Granddad and Grandmother.

We had some tornados last night, first one in Canada this year. The Seacliff

Park got hit bad, no trees left standing at all. most of the roads in the south

of town are impassable. One house has maple leaves embedded in the siding.

Hubby's brother was out all night with the fire dept. We didn't hardly get any

wind at all where we're at, we are about a mile away from where it hit.

We lost power for a few hours but along the lakeshore will be a couple of days

before it's restored, north part of town didn't go out at all. My brother lives

down by the marina where it is still impassable. There were no injuries from it

at least.

Wow Earline - glad no damage to your house.  We had severe storms early last

evening with high winds and and inch of rain in fifteen minutes, but nothing

compared to what you had up there.   A little pick up of brances and twigs today

and we are back to normal.

Still going through stacks of paper and making amazing progress.   Trash can has

become the best recepient for most of it.   Mail from my sister still in the

envelopes - some was just neighborhood information and some I could scan to

files.  Geo. said he is going to get me another trash can to help me work

faster.

The good part is that I enter it to the computer as I find it rather then put it

in a "pending" file.   I had too many pending files.  Now is the pending time.

73 deg. this mornig with a high of 92.  Weatherman says the humidity is 98% and

I believe him.  I have to iron today so that will keep me inside this morning.

My Pending files are getting smaller and smaller.    I found where I had noted

that I mailed off for a SS-5 form for one of my relatives to get more

information on their parents, and for the life of me I can't remember ever

receiving the copy.   It may be buried in the pending files.    I also found a

couple of Naturalization Record indexes on two of my family members that were

"pending" for me to find where to mail off for the original.   That will be my

project for today and they will be mailed.

I can't believe how much I let my work slide backwards.    No wonder I wasn't

making much progress.

I would like to take out the carpeting in this computer room and replace it with

some porcelain tile, the same as we have in the kitchen.   The sooner I clear

the desk, the easier it will be to move the furniture out to get the job done. 

I guess you might call it incentive.



Earline - appears you got some of those tornadoes that came across from the mid

west, across  Ohio and into Pa.    Saw it on the news and it was

devastating.............

cooler today, high of 72, sunny

I sent a post by email, it didn't arrive yet so I won't repeat the email

message. I kept on getting an internal error message on a blank page when I came

to the site, finally I can post.



The house my son and family was living in last summer down by the lake has a

couple of trees on it now. Mybrother lives acroos from it and didn't get any

damage. Their church has a lot of damage to the roof that was recently fixed.

The Seacliff Park, where the Tomato Festival is held, which has hundreds of

trees, will be barren by the time they get it all cleaned up. My sister-in-law

lives across the street from the park, her house is okay,her swimming pool is

totalled. The golf course by the lake, also with hundreds of tree, is heavily

damaged. A few boats in the marina were damaged, my daughter-in-law's uncle

spent the night on his boat at the marina. A new plaza with restaurant,and

businesses that just recently opened was heavily damaged. My husband and I went

to the new restaurant,Shoeless Joes, for our anniversary last week. The

greenhouses down by the lake were heavily damaged



I'm surprised there were no injuries, there were 7 deaths in the same storm in

Michigan about an hour earlier. It happened about 2:30 am. they say that if it

hit during the daytime there would have been more injuries because the stores

would have been open and there would have been more cars on the streets.We were

lucky.

Well, anyway, we went out in the back yard and found our birch tree had two

branches broken, no other wind damage in the neighbourhood, not even any leaves

or twigs on the street. I think that we had a twister touchdown in our back

yard, the branches look like they were twisted.

I had trouble getting up here earlier this morning.   I finally gave up and when

I did, I got a message from my AVG that there were two virsus.   AVG got rid of

them and then I ran some scans after that to make sure my cpu was clean.



Earline - sound like ya'll have good Karma and living right.   That was just a

little too close for comfort.

Sheri - Indeed, it's like going to a garage sale, I never know what I will find.

What I am finding is that I am getting forgetfull and need more notes on my

papers.   Tried to call the Conn. State Library to get information on where to

get the immigration papers today and they are only open Tues. thru Fri.  but we

are still moving forward and the piles are getting lower.

I got out this morning to do some shopping and some errands and some enjoying

outside.  Now I am back working on those "pending" files again.    I am so

thrilled that the piles are getting so small.   I do have a seperate pile for

scanning now, but only because I hate to scan one at a time - it is easier to do

them in batches.

I also closed MyFamily.com down yesterday.    Had to call them to get me (the

Administrator) off the site, but evidently that is how they work it.    I close

all the members, news, pictures etc. and last of all the site and then they have

rain ending this afternoon, high of 72



That's something that I have to do yet too, my family isn't using the

FamilyLobby site, I'm not going to close it down just yet, just remove some

members so that it is free. I'll send a newsletter out. Norma, I'm not closing

the Family Lost and Found site, it's free anyway. I haven't been on there for

months, have you?



I filled out the forms for my 1st certificate application for Joseph Haines,

Sr.UEL, I have to get my proofs together and print them out yet. I have to get

copies of my ancestors land petitions  and any other early family info next

month when I visit the Friends of the Loyalist Collection at Brock University. I

have to go to Elgin County and find my 2nd great-grandfather's death record and

burial site. I'm hoping that his parents' names are on it. I have to fill out a

second application for his son, Nathanie Haines UEL too. I'll just make two

copies of everything.

I haven't been out to even see what the weather is like - the temp. is 84deg.

and appears to be sunny with a light breeze.   Among my "pending" files, I found

indexes for naturalization records for two of my ancestors.   For two days I

tried to call the Conn. State Archives Library which is where I was told I could

get the original copies for $25.00 each.   I finally was able to get hold of

someone this morning and she told me that they (most of New England) are stored

at the National Archives in Waltham, Mass.   So I went on line to find their

address and low and behold, they have on=line ordering of documents for only

$7.50 a copy.   Needless to say, they are on order.   I have no idea what

information they will contain, but it has to be a lot more then what is on the

index.

That gets rid of two more pending files and creates two more while I wait for

the copies to come in, but at least it is a work in progress and I can still

move forward.



Earline - I can't remember when I was up on the Family Lost and Found, but it

has been at least a couple of months.    If the MyFamily.com was a freebie, I

would have left it alone and even though the 29.95 per year would not break the

bank, it was becoming a source of agrivation - just me and Granddaughter

checking in to make sure she didn't miss out on anything.

Anyway - I am still pleased with progrss and desk is getting larger every day.

It's going to be a nice sunny dry day,high of 78. I think I'll play in the pond

this afternoon. Hubby accidentally introduced some duckweed when he was given

some pond plants last summer. It was all confined in the one section until I

turned on the waterfall a couple of weeks ago, now with the 3+" of rain on the

weekend everything is getting choked out by it, I have to scoop most of it out.

Working on my site.  I am going to change yahoo emails and delete the old one

sometime this week.  So I will be joining in the new one (not actually new, but

unused).  I've gotten rid of a couple of email addys altogether.  Simplify.  The

older the email addy the more junk you have to deal with.  Yahoo is no

exception.

79 deg this morning with a high of 88.  Going to be real hot this afternoon.  

Once I get my sheets on the line, I am going to start scanning to get rid of

that pile.   It doesn't look too bad, so I may be able to get it done in a

matter of a couple of hours.   Some of them are death notices for people that

are not in the family tree - just friends that my sister sent.    I don't need

to keep obits. of my sisters old boy friends or my mothers High School friends.

74 deg. this morning with a high of 92.   No rain in sight for the next few

days, but the humidity is 92% this morning already.   Hot and muggy.

will take a break from the morning walk while it is so humid and try to do some

extra exercise in the pool later today.

I will have to check out that wisestamp later also, I didn't see that in Kim's

newsletter, but some days I just skim through her mail.

Didn't finish my scanning yesterday - had a lot more then I thought and found

more in envelopes as I went along.

Still making progress and that is what is important.  The working area on my

desk is still expanding and it is much easier to have incentive to finish now

that there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I a sure it will be so much

easier once the back-log is cleaned up and I am just working on the present

stuff.

I thought we had a new member, but it's just because Sheri changed emails. Oh

well, I guess I'll have to put my "welcome to the group" message on hold, lol.

good early since the accident.  It takes at least an hour to get my arm to move

properly.  Mornings make me feel 95.  I need a lot of time to feel like my age,

so I have to get up 2 hours early just to work it out.  Looking for the weekend.

cousin Ken had his DNA done, but has not told me the results yet, other than

teasers.  We are from the German branch.  Now more German.  I am mostly German

now, I think.  Hmmm.  I will feel more at home now at Oktoberfest.......LOL.

This one I wanted to play with a little and it was so good I kept it!  Kim's

great!  I want to tweek it a little though.

65,high of 81, humid, rain tonight

I think getting the duckweed out of the pond is going to be endless,  it seems

like they multiply before my eyes. I took out 1 1/2 buckets of it. I never

thought I would have to weed my water garden.



Speaking of weeding, I have to get the vegetable garden weeded again before it

gets out of control. I'm not getting much genealogy work done this week.

Yep it's me!  I have deleted the old one from everything.  Now I will wait til I

figure out how to get my old address book into the new one.  Then it is over.  I

am a new person.  I hope I will be better......LOL.



I have a cousin in Tennessee that took a DNA test, and today I got an email from

another researcher that is working on Brock.  He also had a DNA test.  When I

compared the numbers from both men, they matched!  I know where part of me came

from!  I was going to catch a brother and swab him, but it's kind of a moot

point now....



Oh yes, we could pretend I'm new...



Sheri_^..^_

Maybe we should all say welcome to the new Sheri!!!!



Hot and humid today - so far a wasted morning.    Had a recall on my new Maytag

dishwasher so called them for the fix.   He was supposed to come out between 8

and noon.   He has twenty seven minutes yet to go before he is late.   Little I

can get into, until he shows up.   I am getting antsy....
