Value of experience
Read this short article in the newspaper Titled, Does technology devalue old people? : NY Timeshttp://ideas.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/05/does-technology-devalue-old-people/
Hearing “I don’t want to” or just “No” from my 10 yr old son reminds me of when I said “No, I don’t want to” to my Mom. Afraid of the new “thing”; the new children at little league, the new food in the house, the new town on vacation , or my “new” but old adult friend from high school.
The wisdom of the old is in, the living before the young.
I had to travel life’s path and feel the pain, my Mom was trying to help me avoid.
When we learn how to inspire the young, to listen to our “old” experiences, our “old hurts” then we will be useful and have more knowledge than google.
A day with Diana, inspired by the NY Times article " Does Technology Devalue Old People?

iHCPL #67 Exercise:
Question: Have you studied your genealogy in the past? If so, what advice do you have for those new to genealogical researching? If you have not begun researching, list at least three steps you would take when beginning your research?
Answer: Yes I have researched my family. Often I would look up a few things and I would be so intrigued by the links that I forgot to note the information I found first and the source. Then at other times I would look up different sides of my family at the same web source and then not write down the information, so I would confuse the results like the towns from Austria, Ukraine, Russia and Romania with different sides of the family.
On my birthday last year I took a leap of faith and looked up father’s family through the National Charity Leagues online newsletter contact information. The newsletter was a few years old but I sent an email to the contact from Indiana. Within two days I received an email from a relative who was contacted by the newsletter. This person forwarded my email to another member of the family that had been doing the family tree for years. Within four days I found out about more than 50 relatives living and dead.
Genealogy #68 iHCPL
I researched the oldest grave at Glennwood Cemetery in Houston TX.
It is from 1871, Captain Joseph Aiken who died in Galveston and was born in Geneva NY.
My cousin on my father’s side went to Queens NY Mt. Lebanon Cemetery and wrote done birth, death dates of the Liebross family. She contacted the Hebrew Free Grave Society and found the death date of my grandfather, November 9, 1959. I did not know his name until I talked with her a year ago. Max Liebross.
I have talked with my 85 yr old Aunt from California about my family history. I asked her about my grandmother (her mother-in-law), grandfather and their siblings. She gave me the first names and I found a record of my grandfather’s family in the 1920 census of New York.

I searched Heritage Quest for information on Pinelawn Cemetery on Long Island, NY. I chose to search the book section of the database, under place names. I found a book printed in 1928, called Long Island, The Sunrise Homeland. I looked at the index which had cities or unincorporated villages.
Pinelawn was listed. They described the cemetery and described another name it has gone by, Catholic Cemetery of the Resurrection.

28 iHcpl
Today we all worked together on the iHCPL lesson number 28.
GTD was an interesting Wikipedia article, a litte long.
I like the idea of DO it , Deligate it or Defer it.
Sometimes it takes longer to process or organize than to do things.
My BLA BLA list was easy to use and I like the being able to email it to my account.
The Zen Habits site was interesting but i was side tracked and looked at other items besides technology. the font size was too small ...
Organization is sometimes emphasized more than creativity... in a library i enjoy the opportunity to try new things and respond to daily challenges.... youknow we have them here in Katy.
My email recently deleted extraineous emails and trashed those i don't need anymore.
