Much has happened as of late. I finished up with finals and went to the NGS (National Genealogical Society) conference in Cincinnati, Ohio. I learned how to spell Cincinnati and that it has 88 counties. Learned what a thorn was in old English. Ate good food and met lots of fun people while I was there. I got rid of a few things and moved into a new place with high ceilings and lots of quirks. Found some new LPs. Sent off friends and welcomed some back. I picked up twenty more hours of work for the summer. I'm on book 2 of the Barsoom series and have delighted in journeying to far away planets with the Virginian who doesn't know the meaning of the word impossible. And today I vanquished the gym for the first time in weeks. And to make it a perfect moment, I'm writing to you whilst listening to the Pumpkins' Adore album- its narrated many a moments in my life. Talk to you soon.
"There is no branch of detective science which is so important and so much neglected as the art of tracing footsteps." -Sherlock Holmes

Admiral Russell R. Waesche
My first Wikipedia contribution! Admiral Russell R. Waesche is my Great Great Grandfather's cousin. He was the Admiral of the US Coast Guard for many years. I got to add a few things to his page and I'm pretty excited about it. Check it out HERE. I love doing Family History!

So, brilliant. I'm sitting in my Computers for Historical Research class, and we're talking Blogs! I get to start one based on the research that I did last semester. So, when that begins I'm going to put a link on my sidebar for you to easily find and subscribe to it. I'll try not to forget you here on Antiquarian Eyes though, have no fear! The research that I'm going to hi-light will eventually be connected to a google webpage that will be connected to all of the research. I'm excited!
Here's my professor's blog for an example if you're looking to start a genealogical blog of your own and some fun readings:
