Here are the highlights of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week.
1) Attended the Chula Vista Genealogical Society (CVGS) Board meeting on Wednesday on Zoom. We discussed the upcoming programs, dues structure, newsletter content, speaker handouts and recordings, adding more in-person events, and much more.
2) Attended the San Diego Genealogical Society (SDGS) DNA Interest Group meeting on Zoom, hosted by Colin Whitney. He presented "Grouping and Filtering your DNA Matches."
3) Wrote a genealogical sketch for #733 7th great-grandmother Sarah (Brown) Pray (1662-after 1734) of Providence, Rhode Island for the 52 Ancestors series.
4) Transcribed a probate record for the Amanuensis Monday series -- 1851 Will of Daniel Seaver (1767-1851) of Maryland, New York. Used this to help a correspondent sort out a DAR line.
7) AncestryDNA now has 41,642 DNA matches (up 43 from 2 January) for me today, with one new ThruLines. I added 4 Notes to my matches. MyHeritageDNA now has 10,958 DNA matches (up 17 from 2 January) for me, with no new Theories. Reviewed the new DNA matches on AncestryDNA, MyHeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and 23andMe.
9) Used Web Hints and Record Matches from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and source citations to my RootsMagic profiles. I now have 70,264 persons in my RootsMagic file (up 30 since 2 January), and 145,510 source citations (up 3). I TreeShared 55 new or modified profiles with my Ancestry Member Tree, and I resolved 109 Ancestry Hints. My Ancestry Member Tree has Ancestry Record Hints with 173,107 to be resolved, but I work on them several times a week. I resolved no MyHeritage Record Matches, leaving 162,438 Record Matches in 285 sources and I work on them occasionally.
10) Wrote 17 Genea-Musings blog posts last week (Sunday through Saturday), of which three were a press release. The most viewed post last week was FamilySearch: What to Expect in 2023 with over 162 views. Genea-Musings had about 9,400 views last week.
