Saturday Night Genealogy Fun

It's time for some more Randy Seavear's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun on Sunday afternoon.

This week’s challenge:

1)  Do you recall what you were doing in 1985?  Family, school, work, hobbies, technology, genealogy, vacations, etc?

Can I remember what I was doing in 1985? If it had been 1984, 1986, or most any other year, I would have to say 'NO' or 'Not really' and then perhaps figure it out with a little research of my own.

However, with 1985, I do remember since that was a year of major change in my life.

During the winter of 1985, my husband and I were teachers at Nemaha Valley High School in Seneca, Kansas. My husband taught chemistry and physics while I (with my chemistry degree) taught biology (and algebra during the 84-85 school year).

Cleaning up Bad Citations

Do you ever have to do a 'clean-up' in your genealogy database? Whether you do or not, I know I do. I recently figured out that some of my citations did not 'convert' well when I moved my data from The Master Genealogist to Roots Magic. Thus, I have some 'bad' citations to clean up.

Even though I knew these bad citations existed in my database, I had no clue how to go about finding all of them. Thus, I posted a query in the RootsMagic Users Group on Facebook.

Although, it isn't possible to create a report listing these citations, a kind user posted some steps to try and locate those hints.

Scavenger Hunt

Do you ever find in your own research that leads you on a scavenger hunt? That's how I felt this morning when I was trying to figure out some of my 'bad' citations attached to James Crawford on my Ancestry tree.

Fortunately, when I clicked on the top Entry citation, it opened up a window that provided enough information about this erroneous citation to help me locate my original research.
