 Two File Card Trays of 4x6 Genealogical Data I have scanned two trays of 4×6 inch index cards – thousands of cards. Each of the below links will give you the PDF file for that section. I’m not sure if these are of any use to anyone, but I am hereby sharing what I have! Genealogical Data – Miscellaneous FamiliesSurname A  Returning from Hibernation If you skip a paragraph or three, you’ll move straight to my thoughts on how we can be of greater service to our new online-connected generations. The 21st CenturyThree years ago I volunteered as Interim Webmaster. That part was easy, thanks to the gracious help of our previous webmaster! For the record, I donate to SFAA the cost of domain registrations, and the cost of commercial-grade server space and bandwidth. To me it’s all part of the package. Upon being named permanent Webmaster, I quickly consolidated my empire, declaring myself to be the Grand High Hereditary Webmaster of the Strong Family Association of America. It’s a legitimate title, since most of my best “webmastering” ideas come from our son Jakob Barnard. I downloaded Mars Edit. It allows me to compose web site posts directly on my Macintosh laptop. I’m hoping this will simplify things for me. So far, it looks good! I’ll try adding a photo and see how this goes!
This is from the Deerfield Vital Records, showing children born to Joseph Barnard and Sarah (Strong) Barnard. Son Joseph was born 1679 and died. The second Joseph (my ancestor) was born the 20th day of June 1681. Well. I wrote the entire Sharing our Knowledge series, and scheduled the articles to come out once per day. Two days passed, and nothing appeared! A bit of looking around with Google shows that many other Webmasters have hit the same problem. The “schedule a post” feature is broken in the latest versions of WordPress. (WordPress is the software running this Web site.) I’ve wasted the past hour going through various peoples’ attempts to solve the problem. No luck! Fortunately, someone has solved it, and provided a WordPress Plugin to fix it. And… it looks like it’s fixed! Kudos to 5ubliminal and the Scheduled M.I.A.s Plugin!
 2009 Reunion Picnic Dinner, Dixon Illinois As I took over Webmaster duties in Spring 2009, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much information we do have available to our members online. We are now ready for more! Next time you stop by, look for…
