I know it is Sunday, but I am just getting around to Randy Seaver’s Saturday Night Fun over at Genea-Musings . It looked like such a good time, that I am doing it tonight.This weekends task is to find out with of your ancestors were alive in 1909, tell where your ancestral families were living in 1909. What country, state, county, city/town, etc. Who was in the family at the time? Use the 1910 census as "close enough" and have you found each of these families in the 1910 census?

ReplyDeleteI am lucky when I know what day it actually is. Hmmm I sense an idea for a post here. Stay tuned.
Hi Linda, Thanks so much for awarding me the Puckerbrush Award. I'm trully honoured. By the way, I love your picture of Melrose Abbey on your sidebar. I visited Melrose Abbey when I was over in Scotland in 1984 for my sister's wedding.

You know Linda I think that camera set up will work with any type of paper/ink/pencil scenario. It sees the difference between the paper and what is on it. Here's hoping.
