Mystery Monday: La Moss
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done a Mystery Monday. I wasn’t expecting to dive into one this soon into my Genealogy Do-Over but oh well! This mystery isn’t even new to the blog. I’ve written about La Moss before on Mystery Monday. I never did find out what her real name was. I’m so curious though because it seems like she was one of Llewellyn’s best friends.

You might have thought to yourself that I was done with the family tree that I made last week. Well, as an over-analyzer, I am definitely not done. If you want to blame anyone, feel free to blame Great Grandma Llewellyn. She left me all these records and what kind of genealogist would I be if I didn’t pull out every scrap of information I could?

Genealogy Do-Over: My Research Toolbox
This series of posts are based on the Genealogy Do-Over Workbook by Thomas MacEntee. I highly recommend it. 🙂 I just want to say there are parts of this workbook that I am not posting about, so if you would like the full set of tasks, then visit Thomas’ page or purchase the workbook.
This week, I have been taking a little bit of a break from my genealogy. It was partially to do with the holiday and partially because I just needed a little break from it. Throughout the past month or so, I have been working on one of the month five tasks of the Genealogy Do-Over. That is to build a Genealogy Toolbox. I know this toolbox will continue to evolve, so I know I am not looking to “finish” it anytime soon. It’s nice to have everything I might need in one place though. I will just go over the categories I am using right now.

This week’s Saturday Night Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings is all about the census. We are tasked with finding out or guessing which of our ancestors has the most census entries. At first I thought this was going to be really hard. I am in the middle of a Genealogy Do-Over so I didn’t want to venture too much into my old family tree file. I couldn’t resist though, and luckily for me I found someone pretty quickly to highlight!

Video: Using a Gaming Keyboard to Help my Genealogy
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.
