Monday, February 16, 2015. One time, we were in the car on Highway 101. We had to take 380 to get over to 280 to get home. "Where did the highways get their numbers? I asked to make conversation. I was 11. Well, Shorty. I don't know." At that moment, I realized that my weekend was over. We’d spend it researching how highways got their numbers. When we got home, we sat at the table and went through the Ma Bell Phone Book. DMV? This process would have been a lot different today. Today, I could teach my...

Tuesday, September 16, 2014. A few weeks ago I took an online class about blogging via Hack Genealogy. It really sparked me to do something I’ve been only contemplating for over a year. Not really the website, but the structure and organization. I still have a ton to do, but here is what you will now find…. If you visit my usual home page. Wwwmascotmanor.org), you will get to my main site, which now actually leads somewhere! So now you can visit. And get to my family blog. So expect some posts. I feel ol...

Saturday, January 31, 2015. Debbie Does DNA, Part 2: The One with Some Possible Funny Business in Ireland. I’m going to go through each of the big buttons on the FTDNA home page. Here is what they look like:. First off is the MATCHES. I have (well, Grampa. Most are old and I’ve already contacted them. Most also do not have a family tree or GEDCOM information posted. The first three on the list are our closest matches with a genetic distance of only two. Basically, we are related somewhere. So in doing th...

Mascot Manor Genealogy: August 2014
http://mmgenealogy.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2014. Serendipity. Or Thanks, Dad. Dad called me on a Wednesday evening. Wednesday, August 22, 2012 to be exact. He told me that he’d decided to stop his dialysis treatments. We all knew this meant not only limited time, but marked time, so my brother and I jumped on a plane to Oregon that Friday. We stayed the weekend and had a wonderful time. He was in the best spirits and absolutely unafraid. Having not grown up with many beliefs, this was a new topic for us. A new topic for us.

But she was and he did. Where do you want to be towed to? No, I just need the tire changed.". On it went. Finally I said that if I needed towing for any reason, I would like it to be America's Tires so that we could move on. Thank you, AAA, for being slightly incompetent. So much in my life is still entirely still unresolved, ...

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. I was thumbing through a magazine recently and came across a short article titled, “The Pan Am Experience.”. Next to it was a picture of what appeared to be the internal organs of a glamorous 1970s passenger airplane, complete with smiling flight attendants dressed to the nines. From the gist of the headline, I gathered that it was an advertisement. To eat how you did on Pan Am in the 1970s. In the lounge, with drink in hand, you can visit the authentic Pan Am "memorabilia". My ch...

Mascot Manor Genealogy: Evaluating Evidence and Reviewing Online Education
http://mmgenealogy.blogspot.com/2015/02/evaluating-evidence-and-reviewing.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Evaluating Evidence and Reviewing Online Education. Week 6 of Genealogy Do-Over brings us Evaluating Evidence and Reviewing Online Education Options. I admit that evaluating evidence brings me the most amount of angst. I think because of my difference in how I'm researching (to write, not to log), evaluating will happen via words rather than a chart. I can explain that there are four dates for someone's birth, where each came from and which I trust. My Public Dropbox Folder.
