Sentimental Sunday

Surname Saturday - Changed To Siesta Saturday

You got it!

Siesta Saturday is my new non-blogging day! On Siesta Saturday's, I will be sleeping in late. Maybe staying in my pj's all day long!

But definitely resting from the hectic, often too busy, life-style that I have given myself. It's time to slow down and take a siesta!!!

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy - Challenge #23

Thanks to GeneaBloggers for the following Challenge in the 52 Week Challenge!

"Description Week 23: Come up with a personal genealogy challenge of your own. Each person has different research goals and experiences. Use this week to come up with your own challenge, and then take the steps to accomplish it. Genealogy bloggers are encouraged to share their ideas and challenge their own readers."

This week, my Genea Challenge for you is to visit Footnote. This is a website that offers documents that cover everything from the Revolutionary War right up to the Vietnam Conflict. I've been able to locate records here that we've been unable to pinpoint at NARA!!! I rely on Footnote nearly every single day!

Play around with the names of those individuals you would like to learn more about on this site. And then write about it on your own blog.

I'd love to hear from you and if you were able to locate something new in your research!!!

This blog is a little refreshing look at another individual's journey as they discover more about their family and their ancestry, as well as their lifestyles and culture.

Jennifer writes pleasingly and you will leave her blog with a heartfelt, "Ahhh".

I hope you'll take a few minutes and go over to La Mia Famiglia, you'll be glad you did.
