My mother on her scooter she rode when I was born. 

Now, I will be able to see me and my family when I was 6 in the 1950 US Census that will be available after Ancestry and FamilySearch volunteers index it. Ancestry has developed amazing technology that will scan each page and with truly unique, revolutionary software read the handwriting of the census takers. 

This will then be made available to volunteers around the world to look up, then correct any errors for any given enumeration district. I happen to know exactly where I lived in Los Angeles County, so it will be a cinch for me to find ME

These two women are amazing! While going to RootsTech's various Virtual Vendor Websites, I found Family Locket Genealogists  and their tips on "How to Research Like a Pro," another on DNA and another on how to organize your files and photos. Cool. You can watch their short video on YouTube at the link above.

 Did I say I'm developing a Research Plan by watching RootsTech 2022?

Well, here was my FIRST PLAN. My mother worked at Lockheed in Burbank, CA as a draftsman during WWII. This was my birth announcement. 

Now I've discovered Ancestral Quest's free version of software that interfaces with my FamilySearch family tree like PAF used to. I've used Legacy and RootsMagic, but they don't think like I do. So I've uninstalled them and have nothing now on my hard drive. Hmmmm maybe it's time to rethink having my own private version/software on my computer.

This Girl Detective is on the Hunt!!!! I am searching for my ancestors who are end of line mysteries, by watching RootsTech 2022 a Virtual Event with lots of Virtual Vendors and over hundreds of sessions. 

Also, I've just signed up to discover where my parents lived in Pasadena, California by volunteering to index the 1950 US Census that will be released on April 1, 2022.
