Ancestors in the Attic Gets a Makeover

Time for a fresh new look for Ancestors in the Attic!  When you see my logo, whether it is here on my blog, on my website, Facebook page, or on Twitter, you will know you are in the right place. 

When I started my blog in the Fall of 2010, I had no idea there was an old Canadian television show by the same name.  Somehow people who are familiar with the show found me.  I almost feel guilty for the traffic it has generated on my website and pages. When I do get requests for assistance with Canadian research, I pull out my list of fellow APG genealogists who actually specialize in Canadian research and try to direct my would be clients in the right direction.

I have posted links to all my pages at the top of my blog.  Please feel free to visit me on any of these sites as I work on improving my brand.  I am always happy to hear from you...even if you live in Canada!  

My Packing List for NGS 2014

Jen Baldwin has gotten me thinking about what I should pack for my upcoming trip to the NGS 2014 Conference in Richmond, Virginia in May.  I thought I should make a list so I don't forget anything important.

• Crystal Light Energy - Several of the scheduled speakers have that soothing "Southern Drawl" that lulls me to sleep like a baby.  I'm going there to LEARN, darn it!  I have to stay awake!
• Bottles of water so I don't have to pay $3.00 a bottle for the bottled water in the hotel room.
• A sweater for those chilly conference rooms.
• My cell phone and camera for photographing my genealogy idols.
• Address labels for entering all those vendor drawings.
• My cell phone my charger.
• Business cards to exchange with fellow genealogists.
• Comfortable shoes.
• My laptop so I can blog about all the fun I am having at the conference.
• Ear plugs for my roommate.
• Mastering Genealogical Proof for reading at the airport, on the airplane and anywhere else I want to appear intelligent.
• Clothes, makeup, blah, blah, blah.

What's on your list?  See you next month!
