I’ve never been a stats watcher. Sure I like seeing how many visits my page gets. It’s not my main focus though, I just love talking about genealogy. I could write multiple entries every day about genealogy if I had the time. What I do like to do is to check my popular posts. The top four are in my sidebar at all times and I don’t think they’ve changed in months, now I see why!

Willa went to her Aunts in Union Hill. Uncle Rene down to Plainfield, stopped at the house just as I was coming home. They had supper with us. Ruth’s birthday. Gave her voile stepins & vest. Elbert & Leslie
Today has been a very strange day. Now I am wide awake at 11pm and don’t know what to do with myself other then continue on the Cleanup Project. I decided to take some time out for some fun. Saturday Night Genealogy Fun to be exact!
Here are the “rules” as Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings laid them out:
To get my numbers, I created an Ahnentafel Report in FTM2012 and I counted the ancestors with known surnames. This means I didn’t give myself credit for the females who I don’t know surnames for. I was doing good until I got to my sixth generation back. Then by the time we get to the eighth generation the bottom has completely dropped out of my results.
The biggest reason for the drop off is all 10 of my known paternal 3rd great grandparents (generation 6) are immigrant ancestors. For this reason I’ve run into some challenges on finding some of their parents.
For the extra credit, I decided to see how far back I go and it isn’t much farther and the numbers just get lower! For this report, I also used my Original family file for this report. So these numbers might eventually go down even more or possibly go up!
All in all it was nice to see where I stand. It makes me motivated to get those blanks in the sixth generation filled in.
Willa to the house. Ralph, Anna & Jean for supper. George brought Florence over after supper.
Before I jump into the most complicated part of the tutorial (in my opinion), I wanted to do a little bit of CSS learning. I don’t want to leave you in the dust by being too vague about CSS coding. My only hope is that I make things a little clearer instead of more confusing.
To get started it might be easier to take TNG out of the picture and just show you the basic purpose and functionality of CSS.
On vacation. Uncle Rene, Aunt Aggie, Mama, Papa & Margeurite came down after us. Kenneth drove Uncle Rene’s car home. Willa stayed with me over night. Ralph & Anna on vacation, decided to stay longer.
On vacation. Uncle Rene & Aunt Aggie & Marguerite out to house to be ready to go to Belmar next day.

Before the 1940 census was released, I made 2 entries (part one, part two) detailing where I thought I would find my Dad’s side of the family. I previously posted a chart where I showed who I had found two days after the census was released.
I was just looking at all my different entries and decided to see if I’d found everyone from the lists yet.
