Tribute to Ann Frank from youtube

This is my first experience of adding videos. I remember as a kid every year that "The Diary of Ann Frank" would come on and we would be glued to the TV.

There is other ones available. I just typed in Tribute to Ann Frank on youtube google search.

What is Blogger in Draft?

Sometimes when I click on my Blogger Dashboard it says make Blogger in Draft your homepage or something along them lines. On my IGoogle homepage I have Blogger on it and it keeps saying loading and it show a draft screen but I can't use it. Right now I use Blogger on a separate tab pinned to my computer taskbar. But it always opens to my page with my profile settings and blogs I follow. Can you see how easy I get confused. Believe you me it doesn't take much.

Sometime when I watch Webinars or listen to blogger Radio I accidentally turn them off and then have to get back on. I have no idea how I manage to do it but it usually happens when I'm trying to do something in my blog. Wish I could put Webinars on one tab and Radio on one Tab. Haven't figured what podcasts are but I see listen at top of DearMyrtle and Legacy News and others where you can listen to what they are saying. Same with youtube. I would like to be able to watch some of broadcasts like Who Do You Think You Are and some of Rootech ones and others while I'm working on something else.

Trying to get ORGANIZED Oh My!!! Dropbox Oh Dear!!!

I spend most of yesterday trying to get myself, getting more of my pictures linked back up to my Legacy family members, My hard drive, and trying to figure out how to put things in Dropbox.

I clicked on the Dropbox icon on my computer all I seen was Photos and Public and a PDF for using dropbox. So I clicked on the PDF first read it. Apparently I need alot more pictures with good step by step instructions.
Adding files to your Dropbox
You've found your Dropbox folder, and you're ready to start using it. Let's move a file to your Dropbox folder.
Step 1: Drag and drop a file into your Dropbox.
Step 2: The blue icon means your file is syncing with Dropbox.

That's it! The green icon means that your file has finished syncing and is now available from your other computers and the website. Now that Dropbox is watching your file, any changes you make will sync instantly.

What do I do now?
There are three ways to interact with the Dropbox installation on your computer:
The Dropbox Folder

When you install the Dropbox application, Dropbox creates a Dropbox folder on your hard drive. In fact, it you're reading this guide, then you probably already found your Dropbox folder!

(Okay I must be in the right place, because that's where I'm reading the guide.

Now guide says Your Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your hard drive. When you move a file to your Dropbox folder, you are also moving your file to your Dropbox folders on the web and your other computers. You don't need to do any manual copying or uploading; Dropbox takes care of all of that for you!

The green circle and check mean Dropbox is fully synced
The blue circle and arrows mean Dropbox is currently syncing and files are uploading/downloading.
The red circle with an "x" means Dropbox is unable to sync. Usually, this is because your storage quota is full (can't upload), your hard drive is full (can't download), or you are experiencing connection problems (no internet).

That all seemed pretty clear. But I read on I like to finish reading instructions all the way thru,

The Dropbox Contextual Menu

When you Right-Click (I have Windows) a file or folder in your Dropbox, you'll see a menu. This is called a contextual menu. The Dropbox desktop application installs a sub-menu there that allows you fast access to some of Dropbox's best features.
Share a folder
View Previous Versions
Browse File on Dropbox Websit
Copy Public Link

The Dropbox System Tray/Menu bar icon

The Dropbox system tray or menu bar icon is where you can check the current syncing status and change your Dropbox settings.

The same green, blue, and red icons that appear over the files and folders in your Dropbox also appear over the system tray icon to alert you to Dropbox's overall syncing status.

You can get more detailed information when you right-click on the Dropbox icon from the system tray or menu bar lining the bottom of the screen. The resulting pull-down menu allows you to do such things as:

Access your Dropbox folder, the Dropbox website, or the Dropbox help center.
See which files were recently changed.
View an estimate of how long it will take your Dropbox folder to fully sync
Change your Dropbox preferences including your Dropbox folder location, Dropbox account, and network settings.

Then it goes into Frequently Asked Questions which I read over.

I right clicked on Dropbox and this is what I got

Anyways when I drap and drop a file into Dropbox it took it away from my picture library. I had no intentions of putting my whole Legacy program in dropbox but coughed and it started going there in a matter of seconds. Bad News. My Legacy program on my computer was unusable. I was devastated. I finally hit the Install Legacy 7 but remember I'm still in my dropbox. Well that installed back on my computer but all my families, information, pictures showed 0. Oh Crap!!! now what do I do. So I went back to dropbox and copied the my families data files back in. Ok now my families are showing up no pictures. Ok back to dropbox and copied Photos, documents, videos Geo database back to Legacy on my computer. It seems to be working OK just seems like it takes longer to load up.

Let me tell you I was on the verge of breaking down and crying. I had worked on my genealogy files for a long time off and on and had throwed all my scraps of paper away that I had notes on. So I really hope I have it all fixed.

But now I'm leary about drop my pictures, documents etc into dropbox because I don't want them disappearing from where I'm used to looking for them.

I signed up for Thomas's Webinar in April for Dropbox. I rewatched the Webinar he had the other day on backing up. Still want to go back and reread DearMyrtle's on Dropbox. I need step by babystep with pictures to look at while I'm doing it. I'm so dense at times. Am I missing a step in doing this?

Then I have this little problem with my system backing up to my Passport. I keep getting messages not enough space. But I don't know how to fix it. Afraid to remove anything. I don't know how to make a restore disk or backup Disks on DVD.

Heck I still haven't figured out how to get the pictures off my phone to my computer.

The more new technology that comes out the loster I get. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Yeah Right. Not for this little old lady.

Finding relationship to Kit (Christopher Houston) Carson

Clarabell Jane Carson was born September 1, 1861 believe to be in Bonham, Fannin, Texas USA. I have not proved this yet as where she was born. I have not found a record of birth as of yet, but have not been researching her for a while. I believe her father is William Green Carson and her mother Russella Isobella (Duston or Dustin).

William Green Carson born January 11, 1830 in Kentucky to John and Eleanor (Cox) Carson. William died Oct 1 1898.
John Carson born about 1806 in Kentucky to Lindsay and unknown Carson. Died July 26, 1835. Married in 1825 in Pulaski, Kentucky to Eleanor Cox born about 1807 in England whose father was John Cox.
The only information I have at the present is that Lindsay Carson was born about 1786 in Kentucky. Have not proved any of this information yet.

Kit (Christopher Houston) Carson was born Dec 24, 1809 in Madison County, Kentucky to Lindsey Carson who was born in 1754 and Rebecca Robinson. Different Lindsey Carson but did he have a brother or Uncle or Cousin that also had a son named Lindsey. This is what I need to discover.

Just another one of our family connections that I need to find. I have alot of tracking and documenting to do but that's part of the fun.

Getting ready to listen to GeneaBloggers Radio at 9pm

I'm getting ready to listen to Thomas and all the wonderful speakers tonight. Hubby has to leave for work while broadcast is going on so I'll miss a few minutes.

Have been trying all day to figure out how to put stumbleupon on my page down where you share it follwed the instructions and it put it on my page above printfriendly button. That's not where I want it and I can't find where to put it so it shows up by gmail, facebook, twitter buttons. Oh well I'll do without it for now.

Haven't gotten to any fixing on Legacy Family Tree done. So Pictures are still not all linked up right. Maybe tomorrow.

Also why trying to figure out why my blog on my I Google page just keeps saying loading but never loads and I can't use it from homepage. Maybe because I have it pinned to my taskbar. I don't know. All this technology is so confusing to me.

It's just been one of those unproductive days. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Was on facebook earlier today and posting with an old friend from up in Atlanta, Michigan. He posts alot of Native American pictures. Really nice.

Somehow my oldest boy's relation goes back to the famous Kit Carson. Haven't been able to link them up yet. One of his great grandma's was Clarabelle Jane Carson. Her father was William Green Carson. She married Jesse O. Clampitt. His middle name escapes me right now. I think it's Orton but might be Orlo. My oldest boy is named Jesse after him and his middle name is Arnold after his own father Arnold Albert Clampitt.

I need to make a correction about Clarabell Jane Carson's spouse here. She married William Franklin Clampitt Jr. on January 2, 1878 in Hamilton, Caldwell, Missouri USA.
I'm trying to figure out my favorite sweet for 52 weeks of Personal Genealogy. I had so many as a kid though we didn't have sweets often. Not like todays kids.

Well gotta get ready for the GeneaBloggers Radio program. This will be my second one I've listened to.

Have a Great evening. Stay warm.

Family Bible possibly of Mary Murphy McGahey

I have a Catholic Family Bible that my Grandpa Arnold M. Pember had in his possession. It is very large and has 2 metal straps that hook to the front cover. Very beautiful bible with gorgeous prints inside. I have not tried to take a picture of this Bible yet.

He stamped his name in different locations in the Bible and on the Presentation page he has stamped in once spot. It appears that someone has covered all the hand writing that was on this page with something like ink correction fluid or something.

This Bible was published by The National Publishing Co
Philadelphia, Pa.; Chicago, Ill.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Atlanta, GA.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year, 1880, by J. R. Jones, In the Office of The Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C.

My Grandpa Pember always said some of his family came from Ireland and he was always hoping to make it there. I have not been able to make this connection to him yet. He didn't know alot about his family. Someday I hope to get his family found. But more on him later.

Getting ready to listen to GeneaWebinar Backing Up Your Genealogy Data
