Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Moving On Out

  Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!



Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1.  Where did you go the first time you moved out of your parents home?  Did you have roommates? Did you live by yourself?  Did you get married right away?  Tell the story - your children and grandchildren will want to know!

2.  Share your story in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or on Facebook.  Please leave a comment with a link to your post here.

Here's mine:

I lived in my childhood home all through college - taking the bus to San Diego State University.  I rode the bus everywhere because I didn't get a driver's license until October 1966, at age 23.

In late 1966, I had a decent engineering job at Sunrise Aircraft, bought a car (my father helped), and decided I would get an apartment on my own close to where I hung out at Aztec Bowl at 30th and El Cajon Blvd.  It was a one-bedroom, furnished, second floor, and relatively cheap on Idaho Street near Madison Avenue.  I still went to the folks home for dinner several times a week, ate at the nearby restaurants and the bowling alley occasionally, went out to lunch with my colleagues, and could cook bacon and eggs.  I started drinking with the bowling buddies and was working on DX radio hobby almost every night.  

In March 1967, the company told us that they couldn't pay the employees, but if we kept working they would compensate us when the financial crisis was over.  I worked without pay until September, when they shut the doors.  So I moved out of my apartment, back to my parents' home, but had the sun room to myself because my brother was in the Air Force.  

After a month on unemployment, I had some interviews with aerospace companies, and landed a job.  But I didn't take that job because another one appeared over the weekend, and I stayed in San Diego.  

The next apartment wasn't much better, but that's a story for another time, and it leads to meeting Linda.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a program to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping us out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

I received this information from Findmypast today:

Findmypast Friday: Brand new travel records and feature enhancements

Along with brand new records and newspapers, a nifty update to Findmypast’s search experience is now live.

Genealogical Guide to Early Settlers of America

With indexes unique to Findmypast, explore three volumes of highly detailed information on the families and communities of Colonial America.


Containing over 34,000 names and consisting of both searchable transcripts and PDF images of Henry B Whitmore’s original 1898 work, this collection provides detailed biographies and family histories of early American settlers.

Users can search for their early American ancestors by name, year, town or state as well as optional keywords to refine results even further.

Passenger Ship Posters

Step back in time and see the eye-catching 20th Century adverts that enticed thousands to take to the seas.



These visually rich relics from the golden age of the Ocean Liner can provide additional context surrounding the experiences of sea-faring ancestors.
