My 3 Words for 2013
Posted by Liv | Filed under Genea Musings
I stopped making New Year’s Resolutions a long time ago! But I was inspired lately by one of my favorite business bloggers, Chris Brogan the CEO and President of Human Business Works and 250+ of his blog readers, to choose three words that would help focus my goals and efforts in any endeavors I have for this year. So my three words with regards to my genealogy in 2013 are:
First. Proof. Publish.

January 21, 2013 is a Significant Day in US History
Posted by Liv | Filed under Genea Musings
Today, January 21, 2013, is a very significant day in U.S. History for:
1) We as a nation are celebrating the 57th inauguration of the first African American President, Barack Hussein Obama, for a second term;
2) My family and local community are spending the whole day observing and honoring the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a prominent American clergyman, activist, and leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
