Gadzooks!

I cannot believe it has been over a month since the last post.  I don't know if any body else has suffered the recent flu or if they have a fridge that wants them to lose weight without all the hard work, but I sure have!  Ugh, there were two days (a night and a morning) where it felt like I lost 10 lbs just by going to the bathroom.  (Sadly that did not actually happen.  Back to the Brazilian Butt Lift videos!)

Well, I can tell you that whilst I may not have made any breakthroughs on the family tree, I have watched a number of Legacy FamilyTree Webinars and gained a few pointers and resources I had not considered.

Plus, I just became addicted to the television series Copper, set in New York City's infamous Five Points during the later half of the Civil War.  Great sets (filmed in Ontario, Canada), costumes and of course acting.  Just waiting now for season 2 to arrive in the mail to find out what happened to the characters!  The gritty realism of the show made me reexamine all of my records on both sides of the tree to see if any of the family lived in that area.  The result was a resounding "NO".  The only possibility would be through John Aloysius McCue but without knowing more of his parents, I cannot get passed the 20th century.

Speaking of Five Points, that oh so notorious, immigrant area of lower Manhattan, one of the webinars covered GoogleEarth and their ability to add historic map layers, similar to the methods used by ArcGIS, that I might just reinstall GoogleEarth.


....Since this is a slow process, if anyone has a particular person they are looking for and do not see them in the tabs or one of the posts, please feel free to ask me in the comments or via email.

Happy Hunting!
