From Randy (my cousin) over at Genea-Musings:
it's Saturday Night -
time for more Genealogy Fun!!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) It is the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence today.
2) How will you celebrate the day? Or, how did you celebrate the day?
Here's mine:
Our plans for the day fell through... for various crazy reasons. In addition, it has been so hot here in Georgia, that it was just too miserable to go outside for cook outs or anything. So today ended up being a typical quiet Saturday with chores.
However, I have been celebrating the 250th birthday/anniversary of our country in my own way for the past week. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been taking advantage of Fold3 opening up their Revolutionary War records for free through July 6th (this Monday). I have been furiously searching, downloading, transcribing, and saving as many records of my ancestors as possible. I am in awe of the records I am finding, and I am so proud of my ancestors, 3rd, 4th, and 5th great-grandfathers who fought for this country.
Also Mom and I are going to see the movie, "Young Washington" on Tuesday afternoon. We are really looking forward to that!
