My 3rd great-grandfather's life had always fascinated me. After retiring, I began researching then writing about our family history based on facts & letters.

#writingcommmunity #indieauthors Do you stress and prepare many days in advance for a #guestspeaker or do you just go and "wing it"?

@KitDerrick1 Want to clean mine next? Many keys are sticking. LOL

#indieauthors #WritingCommunity Are you ever disappointed by your FREE ebook sales? Over 100 people downloaded my ebooks in Sept., but nothing has shown on KENP! 😢

Excited to meet up with other genealogists today. We'll be touring the San Xavier Mission. Have camera, will take pics. 😃

#WritingCommunity #indieauthors Have you learned any new words lately? Transcribing 200+ year-old documents, I learned "ultimo" means last month.

@KitDerrick1 Thanks for the laugh - just what I needed this morning!

Looking for #lawstudent willing to volunteer help with #Ohio court cases in very early 1800s. #ussupremecourt of 1809 doesn't make sense for this #landdispute

[Trana Mathews @MathewsTrana]

@KitDerrick1 Ouch! Hugs to you!

#WritingCommunity I found out today that use of a period to end a sentence was implemented in the 1560s. But transcribing documents written in the early 1800s, people seemed to prefer using the long dash — like we do with texts

Geesh! Now a commentator says in 1801 President Jefferson never traveled more than 50 miles from home. Gee, didn't realize France is less than 50 miles from Virginia!!!

Gah! Disgusted with #HistoryChannel Frontiersmen series. Don't they bother with #factchecking? Crediting William Henry Harrison with the actions of General (Mad Anthony) Wayne is just not right!
