This blog is going to serve as a to-do list for me, and a research log. For example, when I mail things or receive things in the mail related to my genealogy I'll post here to keep track of dates.
Today, I filled out applications for my grandfather's social security application ($27) and death certificate ($12). They're in tomorrow's mail, one to Baltimore and one to Sacramento.
By the way, I could never keep track of the postal service rates. I guess I don't send out enough letters for it to normally matter, I pay our bills online or over the phone. Anyhow, it's now 39 cents instead of 37. It was still 37 when we sent out our wedding announcements, from which we have many many 37 cent stamps left over. I know this is wasteful, but I put two stamps on each envelope rather than wait for the next opportunity to go to the post office to buy 2 cent stamps. Hopefully they won't think I'm a terrorist for over-paying!
The next things I send out should be the same two items for my grandfather's second wife Soledad.
Also, I hope to have a chat about living relatives (children of cousins and so on) with my sister tomorrow, and possibly go through some more stuff at mom's house some time soon.
