Saturday Night Genealogy Fun – What Type of Genealogist Are You?
Posted by Liv | Filed under Genealogy Fun
It’s Saturday Night Genealogy Fun with genealogy extraordinaire – Randy Seaver — and tonight’s mission, should I decide to accept it is determining: What Type of Genealogist I Am!
I’ve decided to accept this mission and here is my assignment (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):
1) Read Lorine McGinnis Schulze’s blog post “What Type of Genealogist Are You?” (25 August 2012) and determine which type best describes me:
The Hunter or Detective
The Gatherer or Ancestor Collector
The Ancestor Finder
The Hoarder
The Junkyard Collector
The Scholar
The Analyzer
The Planner2) Answer the question, and write about it!!”

Houston Genealogical Forum Calendar of Events
Posted by Liv | Filed under Organizations
I am a member of the Houston Genealogical Forum and our 2012-2013 season will be starting up soon. I really like this year’s line-up of presenters and speakers and look forward to seeing as many of them as possible. I joined the Houston Genealogical Forum for the first time in 2011, but did not get to attend often because of other commitments and scheduling conflicts. But that won’t be the case for me this season!

Bayland Park Community Center
