Gen-Tech Links for Tuesday, 14 Aug 2012 Today has been a very busy day personally. Funny how life and living family members, um, interrupt your plans to research and write about, um, non-living family members. {Can I get an amen?} Despite the major interruption to my entire morning, I managed to find a whole new list of blog post links to technology that might be able to help you in your research of your non-living family members. {That is, when the living members are quite done with their drama for the day...} Anywho, here is the list:
Okay. That's it for today, folks. Hope you find something here that can help you out with your genealogy and family history research in some way. =) Happy Researching! ~Caroline

We had a blast on vacation, but it's good to be home where our Pug, Millie, {pictured on the left} and our cat, Peanut, {pictured on Instagram today if you follow me there: @FamilyStories} waited patiently for us to come home. While I'm playing "catch up" I did manage to find some genealogy-technology links to share with you. So let's get started!
That's it for today, folks! Millie is barking at me for some attention. And I'm working on getting caught up and getting the newsletters out. Good thing I had so much rest the previous week, eh? So look for the Genea-Tech newsletter in your inbox tomorrow morning and look for another Gen-Tech Links post here tomorrow afternoon! ~Caroline

Okay. Here are today's Genealogy - Technology Links for this Friday, 10 Aug 2012. I may have tweeted some of them, but then again maybe not. {Follow me on Twitter: @FamilyStories }No matter because I've picked the best here in this curated-just-for-you list of tech-related posts that I think have some kind of value in the genealogy and family history research world.
Okay, folks. That's it for today. I'm still on vacay, but look for the Genea-Tech Newsletter this weekend which will include ~among many other things~ some more Genealogy-Technology Links. Picked just for you. By me. A fellow researcher. Who just happens to love playing with tech. ~Caroline Sign up for the Genea-Tech Newsletter today:
Today was a rainy day here on the beach, and Team Pointer went to the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum and the 4D Movie Ride attraction. And lucky for you, I was in line for the 12 minute movie/ride thingy for an hour and a half and was able to find some interesting tech links for you that you might find helpful in your genealogy and family history pursuits. So here they are...
Okay. That's it for today. Look for another Gen-Tech Link post tomorrow afternoon and another one in the Genea-Tech Newsletter this weekend. Now? Back to my vacay. =) ~Caroline Sign up for the Genea-Tech Newsletter today:

Okay. Even though I'm on vacation, I took some time out between boogie boarding and napping to find some links to posts about technology that a genealogist or family historian researcher, like you, might find interesting. Or maybe you won't. *shrugs* These weren't found by an algorithm. They're hand-picked ~ curated ~ just for you by me. A genealogist and family historian who likes to read [a lot] about and play [a lot] with tech. So here's today's list:
And that's it for today. I've some waves out there with my name on them. See ya' tomorrow with more genealogy - technology links picked just for you by me [on a beach]. ~Caroline

If you follow me on Twitter [@FamilyStories] or Facebook, you already know I post links to technology posts that I think might have some value to the genealogy world in some way whether the genealogist is a rookie genealogist [beginner], an I'm-getting-the-hang-of-this genealogist [intermediate], an I'm-owning-this-genealogy-thing-like-a-boss genealogist [advanced], or I'm-a-pro-at-genealogy genealogist [professional]. I've tried several ways to do this through sites that try to automate the process, but? That's aggregation, and, really, you can get 'automatic' anywhere. You don't need me for that. Or some of the sites are ugly in design. [And I don't 'do' ugly. Who wants to read 'ugly'?] This list is hand-picked and curated by me as a genealogist who really loves to seek out and play with tech. Most of the time, it'll be tech that isn't labeled as being for genealogy, but I'll include a short and personal intro to each link with my thoughts or questions about its use in our genealogy researching world. You may see some of the links on my Twitter or Facebook streams depending on when you're on those social networking sites and when I'm on them, but more and more, they'll be just here. For you. To read. To decide if you can use them or not. To share with others. [Especially this. Share all you want everywhere. Please.] And it'll be here in the afternoons, Monday thru Friday. [And then on the weekends you'll get a shorter, but totally new list in the Genea-Tech Newsletter.]
Okay. That's it for today. Don't worry. There'll be more tomorrow. There's always more. If you want the links in real time or even more links, follow me on Twitter as @FamilyStories and/or Facebook as caroline.pointer. Or just wait for tomorrow's list with highlights. =) ~Caroline I hope after a couple of weeks' rest, y'all are rested up for the next 48 Hour Ephemera Challenge! It's definitely going to be challenge. Take a look at the quick intro video about it: Joined us before? Come on back!
Haven't joined us before? Then please do! [What a perfect way to start ~ with a murder.] Mr. Charles O. Kaiser, Jr supposedly married Emma P. Then supposedly killed her. [This newspaper article doesn't paint him in a favorable light.] He had some kind of questionable relationship with this one guy. They definitely had a history. And then this guy knew this other woman who wasn't exactly honest. And she definitely had a history with this one guy. And you are definitely going to need to bring your A-Game to this 48 Hour Ephemera Challenge. [Are you good with newspaper research? Then this challenge was made for you.] Can we find where they came from? Who they were related to? Whatever happened to them? Can we find their stories? Can we put these characters ~ these people ~ back into history where they belong? In 48 hours? There's only one way to find out. And good luck! =) The 'Charles O. Kaiser, Jr. put on trial' challenge is now posted in the 48 Hour Ephemera Challenge Forum! ~Caroline
Chaparral GenSoc Meeting
It was all Amy Coffin's fault. A year ago she mentioned she'd found this awesome society called Chaparral Genealogical Society over in Tomball, Texas. Now, I had heard of it, but thought to myself, "Geez. Tomball? That's, like, 30 minutes from where I live. But if Amy's willing to drive 60 minutes, it's gotta be good." And it was. And it is. As of our last meeting we're 97 strong and growing. We've got exciting plans that I cannot *wait* to share with you when I'm able. And? That's where I met the fantastic DAR members, and how I got started in proving my lineage for membership. But getting back to the society, it's great to know I can go talk genealogy, family history, and history with like-minded folks who treat you just like family. And this past Saturday was our once-a-month meeting and I thought I'd show you what our meetings look like and what we did. And show you what I like to do on my way home from said meetings every month because as luck would have it, the road that takes me there and brings me back is the same road that runs in front of one of my favorite places... All I can say is I'm lucky that Amy shared Chaparral with me. I'm lucky to be a part of such a great group. And? If you live nearby, I encourage you to come check us out. If you don't, then I encourage you to find a local GenSoc near you. Maybe you'll get lucky too. ~Caroline |
