First child born 1779 which puts her birth abt 1750's era, maybe 1760's but do not think so, it  would be late 1760's.  I have his Will if I can find it.  Much of this done before major computer input.

Anyone with more knowledge please share.  She was sibling to Henry Huffman, George Huffman and others according to our research?

Treasure Chest Thursday, Rev. Joseph Patterson

After 30 years of looking digging and discussing the Patterson lineage, a break came a couple of years ago.

There is much out there on the Patterson's.  Just had to find the right  one. He died in Alleghany Co. near Pittsburg, PA. He lived in Washington Co. for many years.. He is Jane Patterson's father.

He is obviously the reason cousin Karen said Mom looked just like her Aunt.  They were kin. We are kin.  With those comments I started digging in earnest to learn Jane's father's name. It seemed to take for ever. A Tidbit here and a tidbit there but never enough to confirm. A trip to Los Angeles Library helped.  He was born in Ireland  20 March 1752, fought in the Rev. War and  moved west became an ordained minister and died 4 Feb 1832.  

I keep telling people books, books hold lots of keys, not necessarily the internet but books.

A Walk Down Memory Lane, My Answer to Thomas

A Walk Down Memory Lane,  My Answer to Thomas

Wow,  what a memory this creates.  O yes, I was, Was very proficient on my first computer.
It was a Mac LC11. I was one of the volunteers that Montgomery Junior High School had trained to help the teachers, teach computers to the students.  Yes, there was a day I knew what I was doing.

The computers the school used was a few years older than my first purchase. But the system worked and I knew my way around it.

It was bigger and  boxier than the one I own.  It had a 4 ? inch platform and a big box sat on top.
We had standard sized key boards.

For me it was a dream come true. I knew it could help me doing research for reports and charts and many things the open market was using them for.  I was so ready to learn this and help the school move the students forward.

It was fun.  We all had a few problems working the programs to start.  Some the Apple Company had to fix. Ironic, if you get enough people on the system the bugs will show up.

I can not remember the model of the one we had at Montgomery Junior High School but it was some time before I could afford one and then our son was told to start college he must have a computer for two classes. We took the plunge.  It was probably 7 or 8 years.

At the same time, husband was working for Otay Water Company and they were working on getting hand held for reading meters.  We all had fun.

Today I hear (?) they drive the trucks down the street and the computer reads the meter from the trucks.
My husband walked many miles every day reading meters. Up Dictionary Hill and down and all about the region that the Water Company covered.  He braved dogs and shotguns and irate customers and friendly ones too.

The  Water District's & School District's Computers in the 70's was a huge monster and took up rooms of space. Of course, we know that today you can get them wrist watch size.  So spy people say.  I am still using an Apple computer and my entire system is right behind the screen I read or write from. No monster on the floor or on the desk beside the screen.

It  has an ironic twist because we were taught that we could be able to upgrade and change over time and not replace. Not true it advanced, so I am told so fast, that they do not upgrade you so you have the same program or system some times not even a year.

Not being a fan of fast changes,  I drag to buy new and do new systems.  Some of the new features are great some I do not think any of us normal (?) people need.  Sure it's a convenience.

How many of you could do most of the work on an Electric Typewriter?  I loved mine.
Understanding why writers, have back up typewriters in their cabins and away places so the creative juices can still flow with out electricity.

Why Did You Join Your Society?

This has been a very hot topic around our board table lately. It also seems to be a topic of interest to many others.

Gail Dever of Genealogy a la carte, wrote a blog post about it and ran a survey.



Survey results indicate genealogists join societies for camaraderie | Genealogy à la carte

She also listed 10 topics that factor into the reasons.

I found it very interesting and maybe be helpful in planning future events.

With a society of over 80 people and only 30 to 40 attending any given event, it concerns me greatly.

As Educational Chairperson, we have in the society: done survey's, varied our speakers, have a newsletter ( which I think is very good), Research Group Meeting monthly, Computer Group Meeting monthly, workshop meetings twice a month (two other libraries) within the area, arrange field trips to FHC's,  & other libraries.

We have a call tree for reminders. We send notes when someone is down and needs a lift or been injured.  We try to assist in many various ways, yet attendance is in my eyes dismal.


So do we just do social parties. We have terrific response for the Christmas Buffet, and Summer Picnic.
Yes, information is shared at these events also.

Speakers work hard to put together a good program for members to be educated and learn more information but when a small handful show up, it is definitely a sad moment for our group.

I am quietly hearing this in more than one society, what are we to do?
