12 Days of Family and Genealogy - Introduction

I returned home Sunday after 12 days spent with my parents. We spent a few days in Williamsport, Pennsylvania visiting my grandparents and extended family, taking tombstone photos and researching at the local genealogy society's library. Then I spent some more days staying at my parents' house near Cincinnati, Ohio and scanning photos, visiting a cemetery, and visiting grandma. On Saturday, I went to Frankfort, Kentucky to spend the day at the Kentucky Genealogical Society's annual seminar.

I'll be doing a series of blog posts about those 12 days. Posts will include:

Gravestone photos - St. Boniface Cemetery, Immaculate Conception Cemetery, Spring Grove Cemetery
Wills
WWI draft postcards sent to those who registered for Eugene Eck and Edward Charles Eiswerth
Great grandma's gallstones
Lycoming County Genealogical Society's library
recap of Grandma's answers to 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy prompts
Elizabeth Shown Mills
Eiswerth family book
Great grandpa's dentures
scanning
and more

I had a great time over those 12 days. No one went insane, but I have seen enough television to last me a few years.

I'm looking forward to this series. And I see your next post is about ESM...ooh.

As for television...I crave being able to find a few minutes to sit down and watch a show, any show. I was thrilled to be able to watch Sponge Bob the other day!
