Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. Thursday, August 07, 2014. Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair. The Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair.

http://elizabethsaunders.blogspot.com/2015/05/get-back-into-writing-8-tips.html

Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. Friday, May 01, 2015. Get Back Into Writing — 8 Tips. So far, 2015 has not been the year of writing for me. I started January gung-ho about a nonfiction book, but sometimes "life gets in the way." To sum it up in a tweet:. Visited friends, moved bookshop, family visit, snow, family death, scrapbooked, sold a house, family wedding, mission trip. Is it any wonder my writing's been waylaid? Feel free to add tips in the comments. 3 Change the Scene.

Travels with Books: Tombstone Tuesday — Memorial Day 2015

http://elizabethsaunders.blogspot.com/2015/05/tombstone-tuesday-memorial-day-2015.html

Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Tombstone Tuesday — Memorial Day 2015. I've seen photos of the tombstone, but I always wanted to visit my great-great-grandfather's grave in person. Something about my research this past weekend, combined with everybody talking about the meaning of Memorial Day, gave me a wild hair to drive out to Moore County and pay my respects. Instead of letting him take the Oath of Allegiance, the Union kept him in prison camps at Poin...

Travels with Books: ENGLISH Family

http://elizabethsaunders.blogspot.com/p/english-family-tree.html

Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. I'm a genealogist who is writing a novel about the English family. They lived in Ireland for almost 100 years before my ancestor Joshua English, a Quaker, brought his family to South Carolina.

Children: Thomas, Jana or Jane, Margareta, Anna or Anne. John ENGLISH, b...

Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. Friday, August 15, 2014. The morning after the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair. Denver booksellers open their shops for brunch. I started on the 200 block of Broadway, at the Broadway Book Mall (pictured at left) and Farenheit Books. And Printed Page Bookshop. Are co-ops — groups of booksellers that sell their books in one shop. I love the idea of combining resources and not being physically tied to the counter every day. When the estate sale ...

Adventures in the search for ancestors, history and books. Thursday, February 05, 2015. Tannery Books has a physical presence, again.
