Scholarship Presentations at EastLake High School

This early evening I went to Eastlake High School to present two Scholarships.

Sophia Zaragoza was the $500 winner.  I invited her to contact us and come meet us.
She has my email.

Samantha Morgan was not in attendance, so her Counselor has her surprise.

It was double delightful for me to see an old friend and give him a hug. Also to meet another old friends wife.  I hope she gets back to me.

Lots of Scholarships presented and lots of great things said about a lot of the students.
May the all go forward and do well in the world.

The gentleman that said you can accomplish anything you put your mind to,  was saying much Wisdom for them to retain.  If I recall he was retired Marine and Teacher both.

Having Sorted Books I Love This Challenge Dick EASTMAN Thanks

GFO Challenge: Let’s Help the Burned Genealogy Library in Paradise, California

Our hearts go out to the Paradise Genealogical Society whose library burned to the ground during California wildfires last year. They’ve found a new location to rent and have decided to rebuild their collection from scratch.

The Genealogical Forum of Oregon is in a good position to help. Here’s what we’re doing:

We have many surplus books which we sell to generate income. From these we have selected more than 550 excellent resources that we’re donating.

Plus, we’re giving them brand new copies of all of the GFO’s 55 publications which we print.

We’d like to challenge all the other genealogical societies on the west coast: If you’re in a similar position to be able to help, we urge you to do the same.

Vince Patton, President
Laurel Smith, Library Chair

Genealogical Forum of Oregon

 I have a box started to head that way. Conversing with a member on needs. Do you have some to give also?????

Randy Seaver's Shared Information Was Well Received.

Saturday afternoon, Randy shared his research strategy with us. It was much the same as what I use.

He shared his Research from start to finish in a very smooth method.  I love the timeline method which is what I call this.  It is not a time line but you have to follow that method to not leave out any unturned rock.

You really have to know a bit about the history, the area, the time frames attitude to know where to look for various tidbits and tiny clues.

He chose an unknown Seaver name and went looking for information about him. He carried us through his method of what he looked for and where and also how.

Family Search and Ancestry was used, Newspapers were used, Obituaries were read, taking tips from all these articles.

This search took him all over the USA almost just not the deep south.

Randy showed digitized records are not always accurate. He looked for family and shared
this research with someone who offered to help. (This is a key for me to share and the more that are looking the sooner one generally resolves that step of research).

He listed 8 tips for resolving your problem when you are mired and can not move forward, or found a new person and need to learn information on that individual. Stating that Repositories can hold many clues when you are researching.

The individual was in many states at various times, married and remarried and kept disappearing on
the families.  It was an interesting event.

His last statement was:" Real Lives Can Be Stranger Than Fiction."




My Tidbit is some times read others trees and see if they have information. If they do, make sure you learn their sources and if true not thought to be true. There are tips almost everywhere.

Thanks Randy Seaver for a great event that was much appreciated.

I also want to say Thanks to you for the set up, being late again.
