Teenage Bullying

I NEVER thought I was going to have to deal with this. Hunter is going through a really tough time right now. I feel really bad for him and guilty at the same time. I wish kids would think about what they are saying and or doing to others and think how they would feel it was being done to them! I am very grateful that he has the friends he does because they are the reason I know what has been going on. He didn't want to tell anyone because he did not want to bother them. I feel like I have let him down somehow. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the start to a better week for him!! HUNTER I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to World War II History Network and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable. You can find the database at Casualty Cards Database. Fred Thomas, my husbands great uncle, was in WWII and in the Marines. I searched the database and found : On the first page it states : While the cards for World War II through Korea are not classified, however, they can often be very graphic. Therefore, to maintain the dignity and honor of the Marines, the individual cards will only be released, upon request, on a case by case basis. To request a card, please send an email to history.division@usmc.mil or a request in writting to: United States Marine Corps History Division Attn: Reference Branch 3078 Upshur Avenue Quantico, Virginia 22134 . I immediately sent an email {about 12:30 am because

5 Tips to Break Down Your Brick Wall

Originally posted at Lost Tree Project as a guest post February 2019. Eventually we all hit a brick wall. My first brick wall was with Joseph Thomas {my husband's 3rd great grandfather} I spent months searching. Brick walls can last weeks to months to years. Below are some quick tips to help you break through that brick wall. Research another ancestor for a while and then go back to your brick wall . You will see your brick wall ancestor with new eyes. Use a checklist to see if you missed any records. {You can find my Evernote Research Checklist in my shared genealogy notebook.} Revisit your research. Maybe you missed a piece of information in a document. Maybe something seemed like it wasn't important but now that you have more information you find it is important. Learn something new. It does not need to be genealogy related. When you shift your thinking to something else and then go back to the brick

Tag or Notebook organizing System?

Great blog post at harmonenterprises blog by Stacey Harmon about tagging or using stacked notebooks to organize in Evernote. I use both. I have a notebook for each project or main subject and then within that notebook are stacked notebooks to break it down. I use an inbox notebook where every note goes that comes into Evernote; from there I review and sort each note. My notebooks are always changing depending on what I am working on. When I start a project it gets a notebook stack and when I finish the project I keep what I need to keep. Those notes go to a filing cabinet notebook and get tagged with relevant notes. I try to make sure the notes have informational titles so it is easier to search for a note if I need to. About twice a year I go through all of my notes one by one and delete the ones that are not relevant. I did not think I would be deleting as many as I do but a lot of them I do not need to keep.
