How did people do genealogy before computers?

Posted on 31 August 2008 by generationsgoneby

Okay, not only does The Master Genealogist keep all my people neat and organized and semi-sourced, but it keeps it compact. I was sitting here at my desk trying to decide if I wanted to work on my scanning project, my microfilm, a cemetery, or just some basic cleanup, when I realized my desk has [...]

Is it a bug or plain grouchiness?

Posted on 31 August 2008 by generationsgoneby

I haven’t felt really good for the last few weeks. For one, fall has decided to come a little early here and with it my seasonal allergies. Along with that I started back to work on the 13th, and I think my body is adjusting to the extra exercise (though the scales are budging), [...]

Microfilm Came!

Posted on 21 August 2008 by generationsgoneby

I’m so excited, my microfilm came! I ordered it about 10 days ago, so I was pleasantly surprised when I go home and it was here. I decided to go for the most bang for the bucks and ordered marriage rolls this time. I can feel my surety level in my database [...]

But as [...]

Taxes

Posted on 17 August 2008 by generationsgoneby

Nothing is certain but death and taxes. But taxes are ruled by governments and governments word things like:
Insomuch as the governing body of the state of TN deems it necessary…
People word things like:
Since we can’t build roads, we’ve decided…
Reading through all the government gobbledygook is like have brain surgery with an ax and pick. [...]

1920 Census

Posted on 4 August 2008 by generationsgoneby

Well, I was so close. I found everyone but Joseph Hubbard. I just can’t find him. His wife, Martha died in 1916. I am pretty sure he lived in the 5th District of Davidson County, TN, since it was the enumeration of the area that was part of the old 6th District where Joe and [...]
