Thursday's Thoughts

Viking Ship Captain to Crew: "Remember men - before you pillage or plunder please visit the local church and copy down the BMD's. If you are not sure of a name then ask a member of the staff. There is nothing worse than shoddy transcriptions!"


In April when the 1940 Census was released, it was super exciting. After some of the indexing was finished people were then complaining about errors. I think it probably happens in every year.  We're just never satisfied. Not fast enough, too complicated, not enough time, too hard, not correct... it just never ends, the extent of our complaints.

I've thought about today's topic - Thankfulness - extensively.  It's very difficult to be thankful for many things because we're in a hurry, or we're expecting more perfection from someone or something.  I myself find how impatient I have become while driving. I'm less tolerable of imperfection as I get older. But today, I want to send a special thanks to those people in my little genealogy world that inspire me often.

So to you Genealogy Addicts out there - You know who you are - Thank you for the wealth of fun, funny and amazing conversations and topics we discuss on a daily basis. Without you, I'd be - well, quiet.  We all know how well THAT would go over!

I hope you enjoy your Adventures in Genealogy as much as I have enjoyed meeting and chatting with such wonderful people.  Thanks for your support!
