Technology, Webinars and Ancestral Journeys

This week I have spent my time researching how to best post my ancestral journey on my blogs. I can learn from the comfort of my home at anytime thanks to Webinars.

What is a Webinar? Webinars are shared training on the internet in what is called a podcast, videos, online workshops, interactive conferences in either real time or multi-cast viewing. It can be used for presentations, training, meetings and just to hangout with people with similar interests.

I have watched several of  Leagacy Family Tree Webinars . I participated in the live version of  "Blogging for Beginners with DearMyrtle." I was able to watch an older Webinar that she had done on "Blogs: Easy to Make Web Pages with Carrie Keele and DearMyrtle" and re-watched the "Blogging for Beginners... " stopping it as needed when I updated my Where in the State is Mom blog site. I left a comment on DearMyrtle's blog with a question which was promptly answered.

The steps were easy to follow. Legacy has several other Webinars with DearMyrtle scheduled. DearMyrtle also has her own "Hangouts" for her Google+ circle that offers a plethora of information on genealogy and blogging.

Dear Myrtle commented on how Fun is technology? I had to agree that technology is Fun when you know how to use it. She makes it fun in Webinars and so easy to follow her step by step instructions.

My virtual hands are clapping for both Lagacy and DearMyrtle for making technology available to those of us that are still struggling with this new fangled thing called Blogs.

Way to Go Dear Sister

Check out my Damegussie posting about the achievement of my sister Sarah A Montgomery. Well done sis. She does the Equine Family ancestry in our family. They knew the importance of following and recording about the females not just the males in our lineage.

I'm Back, So Watch Out!

I have returned to blog about whatever comes to mind. It may be about the the Historical subjective novel I am writing of Isaac and Mary Stearns decision to come to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. It might be about my ancestral journey as I search for those who came before me. I could surprise you with where I spent my day; the interesting people I meet along my journey called life; or just something that caught my eye that I think you will find interesting..

Please join me on my life's journey.

today I am posting photographs showing the breath taking view from the 12th floor Presidential Suite of the Raddison Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire. The New England Genealogist Conference and Expo is going on this weekend. Great workshops, interesting people and lots of goodies at the Expo. The Expo is free to everyone.

Chase Family Research

I traveled to the beautiful town of Warner, New Hampshire in search of Jacob Chase and his descendants.

The Chase Surname is prominent in Warner Town History. I found much that I have to sort through, including a mystery. There was a letter to the Historical Society thanking them for the information for on Jacob Chase and his adopted son of Alonzo Chase. So the search is on for his birth parents. A trip to Hopkinton, New Hampshire Historical Society might answer a few questions.

Below is a little snippet about Warner.

It houses Bagley, Davisville, Dimond, Lower Village Melvin Village, Roby, Waterloo, Rollins State Park and Mount Kearsarge State Forest. It has had many notable inhabitants including children’s author, David Elliot, and leader of sectarian religious group, Jacob Osgood.

Faithful Companion

Today's research finds me at the Church Cemetery, Wilmot, Merrimack, New Hampshire. Gravestones offer interesting bits of life from those that are Heaven Found. Frances Chase knew the importance of a faithful companion in the time of battle during the Civil War. So here is his dedication to that faithful companion "Billy Buckskin was a horse that belonged to Francis Chase and was a veteran of the civil war. His grave is marked each year with a flag, on Memorial Day."
