I spent my morning of Memorial Day honoring my ancestors by:
* Posting Honoring my Ancestors who served. This is a yearly post at Memorial Day. I had to remove James Bell from my post because I found out that he was not Devier J. Lamphear Smith's biological grandfather (Devier Lamphear was adopted by Ranslow and Mary (Bell) Smith).
* Downloading the complete Revolutionary War Pension Files from www.Footnote.com for Isaac Buck of Massachusetts, Joseph Champlin of Rhode Island, and Joseph Oatley of Rhode Island. I had the "selected pages" from HeritageQuestOnline, but not the complete files.
* Creating a Footnote Page for Isaac Buck (1757-1846) of Sterling, Massachusetts and linked it to Facebook's I Remember application. I included several pages from Isaac's Revolutionary War Pension File as images and added my research Notes from my genealogy database. Isaac Buck is one of my 4th great-grandfathers. The Footnote Page for Isaac Buck is here, and the Facebook I Remember page is here.
* Creating a Footnote Page for Isaac Seaver (1823-1901) of Leominster, Massachusetts and linked it to Facebook's I Remember application. I added a picture of Isaac and his wife Lucretia (Smith) Seaver, added census images for 1850 to 1900, and added my research notes from my genealogy database. Isaac Seaver is a Civil War veteran and is one of my 2nd great-grandfathers. The Footnote Page for Isaac Seaver is here, and the Facebook I Remember page is here. I even invited some of my Facebook Friends to look at the I Remember page in hopes of winning the free Footnote subscription.
I figured that I had done enough honoring my ancestors by noontime, so Linda and I went off to a picnic and pool party at our friends home. I even got to talk genealogy with two of the folks there! We had a fun day!
