Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

Monday Madness -- Asking for Help#1

I have so many difficulties when it comes to computer related issues.  Nothing has been easy.  The computer is ok, it is doing the little fun things pertaining to blogs.  For example, it took an hour to try to get the March birthdays report posted, but it still isn't right.  I did it with a version of FTM and then RM4. After all that time, I've decided to beg for help.  This isn't my first attempt with the below project, I tried it last month too.  The report is now saved in pdf format on the desktop and in my documents folder.  But there was no way to get it on to the blog.

So, what you are seeing is a printed copy which I scanned.  There must be an easier way.

I am hoping somebody takes pity on a much older person, and offers help.  I hate to warn you, but if I get help, I may use this tactic again in the future!  Like really soon.  I've already made a new label for Instructions.
In the past, one person offered help without me asking.  So I would like to publically  thank Apple.  There are others that I asked; they are Dru, Gini and Cheryl.  Last thing, I plan on doing this report every month, and possibly for deaths...you will be so tired of seeing it.  Thank you for any help.
