It was pretty mild, suddenly had less energy but it was just walking, from a cable car to another lift back in my 20s.

So true. Glad I've never had to do online dating although a friend thinks it's amazing you can sort out your social life before breakfast!

A4. Less compression although that's improved, less complicated controls and somehow more character or is that just the effort. Digital has better depth of field, easier sharing, more instant availability and way easier editing (big plus) #DigiBlogChat

I've used Public Records, Army Lists, Census, etc and piecing things together. Strangely I've not used online (or Mormon data) much other than some very specific searches.

I enjoy the research and trying to add to the information. Super lucky though that a historian checked the Ross-Lewin family tree about 20 years ago sharing their research and I've got details back to about 1600 #DigiBlogChat
