Back from Salt Lake
What a week……hours and hours spent at the Mormon library. At the beginning of last week, we didn’t have any new cases so we could work on our own family history. I spent hours looking at microfilm, copying documents and just generally immersing myself into history.
We finally received our new cases at Friday noon……then the scramble began as we only had Friday afternoon and Saturday left to be able to use the library.
I luckily was able to find some obituaries for my Wisconsin guy which I will follow up as soon as my brain gets rested. My Kentucky case was starting to look like another case from the Twilight Zone. It wasn’t until Saturday afternoon that things started to pop. I had looked at all kinds of stuff at the library wasn’t finding anything! I decided I would take some time off and go back to the hotel and get my suitcase packed for Sunday. When I finished, I booted up my laptop and decided to try again on the Kentucky guy. Lo and behold, I got a hit! What really gripes me is when I use a site and get no hits, go back the next day to the same site and bam! Something will pop, I tell ya, it will drive you nuts.
Anyway, I got home last night around 11:30…….a long 12 hours of waiting in airports, sitting on planes and more waiting in airports. I’m so glad to be home and in my own bed.
When the brain is rested, I’ll post more.
