I had a wonderful day, out and about in the perfect weather. I picked up the slide and negative viewer, came home and installed it. Then I spent a couple enjoyable hours looking at slides. Ah the memories! I’ve only made a dent. I estimated I had 300 but 500 appears to be more likely. So far I’ve found some slides which I believe my college roommates would pay to have destroyed. 🙂 I’d say the device works pretty well….

A month or so ago, at the request of a friend, I did something I never thought I’d do — joined Facebook. A lot of genealogists seem to think it is something we will find useful. I find it a bit confusing. Is there a manual??? I see a lot of people I know. There are various things that might be useful to genealogists, groups to participate in, etc. It’s yet another learning experience. Ancestor Hunting
