You aren’t imaging things! I did indeed say that I use a gaming keyboard to help me with my genealogy. If you have 10 minutes, then go ahead and look at my video and see how I do it.
Treasure Chest Thursday: Llewellyn’s Gifts
There is a little catch with today’s highlight. Technically, I posted about this in a previous post called, Part 2: I love this lady. That was June of 2010 and this is July of 2016, so I think it’s okay to talk about it again. I didn’t go into the details of the book before, just posted a few pictures from it. I thought, since I’m doing a Genealogy Do-Over, that it would be a good time to actually catalog the people in the book. I had previously transcribed it into a Google Doc, but this time I wanted to do something different.

Genealogy Do-Over: More Prep Work
This series of posts are based on the Genealogy Do-Over Workbook by Thomas MacEntee. I highly recommend it. 🙂
First things first, I finally cleaned off my desk the best I could.
Treasure Chest Thursday: Llewellyn’s Bits and Pieces
Treasure Chest Thursday is a Blogging Prompt used by the GeneaBloggers community to help bloggers come up with things to write about their ancestors.
I’ve always known I am very lucky to have inherited a box of things from my Great-Grandmother Llewellyn. I could probably fill a whole year of Thursdays with posts about the many things that she un-intentionally passed down to me.

Genealogy Do-Over: More Decisions
The series of posts I will be writing is based on the Genealogy Do-Over Workbook by Thomas MacEntee. I highly recommend it. 🙂
I have been ill for that last few days and after a lot of rest, I am finally feeling better! This means I am so far behind in all the tasks I had set myself up for this week. That’s alright though, there’s nothing like a little rest to help you get a clearer thought process!
Here are the things I’m working on this week.

The series of posts I will be writing is based on the Genealogy Do-Over Workbook by Thomas MacEntee. I highly recommend it. 🙂
I am still working behind the scenes on a bunch of different tasks for my Genealogy Do-Over.
Most of my immediate family members had previously provided me with their vital information. My form will hopefully help to bring in some cousin connections a little further out from what I previously knew. That doesn’t get me the stories though. Then I had a really great thought while going through the really great tips the members of the Genealogy Do-Over Facebook group gave me. In our shed we have one of those binder machines like this:

I’m here to show you how I’ve become a complete organization addict. I’ve been doing really great at setting my organization up for my Genealogy Do-Over. I am still working on that and still working through Mastering Genealogical Proof by Thomas W. Jones. It’s going against everything in me not to follow some leads that I see in my head as I look at some of my old blog posts.
Speaking of old blog posts. I am re-organizing them. I never really used a consistent organization method with them and that’s what I’m going back and changing now. I have a lot more time on my hands while I work through my other tasks. The most important reason is I want to be able to find what I’m looking for easier. I use the blog as a way of talking things over with myself or others. I think this will help me to remember what I’ve already said on a subject before and to easily find past entries.
