Didya miss me? After getting laid off (oh no, age discrimination is totally not a thing) and deciding it would be possible for me to just retire now, things kinda took a sidestep. I was researching Dwiggins (so many Dwiggins families and every last one of them had a son named John), trying to figure out which John was our John, when my laptop got very sick. Data Doctors pronounced it DOA. So Tom gave me his old laptop and I got Legacy installed and my database back from the cloud. But I didn’t have room for all my data files in the same partitition that they were on my old laptop, so all the media links to ancestors’ exhibits are broken. Legacy was able to find over 500 of the files, but there are almost 300 links still broken. So the Dwigginses are on hold until I fix this mess.

On the other hand, someone posted a photo on Find A Grave of the gravestone for Peter Christian Muesebeck and Christine Dabel Muesebeck, so I got the memorials transferred to me. But I haven’t looked at FAG either for awhile, so there is a lot of work to do there too.

Huh. And here I thought retirement would be so relaxing, sitting around all day wondering what I could do to help pass the time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, I did get my dad’s OMPF of his service in the Marines in WWII, from NARA finally. I sent for it about 5 years ago, and they lost it, which I blogged about before. But after about 5 years I decided to try again, and lo and behold they had apparently found it again and filed it where it was supposed to be. Really interesting to see all the information, almost 100 pages of photocopies. When I have time to organize it all, I will be updating his story page on the website.
