This week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun suggested by Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings is to do a surname Wordle. Ooh la la. With my love of PURPLE, how could I resist doing a custom color theme. Thanks Randy!

Family Research News for 04 Mar 2009
I received four newspaper items for my great-grandaunt, Hattie (HILL) MUSCH, from the Medina County District Library. She died in 1945, which put her one year beyond Ancestry's Ohio Deaths, 1908-1932, 1938-1944, and 1958-2002 database. I was unable to locate her death certificate in Family Search Lab's Ohio Deaths 1908 - 1953 database after many attempts and every search criteria I could think of. The Ohio Historical Society recently made it possible to purchase death certificates for the years 1909 - 1912 and from 1945 - 1953 through their online store. Their Ohio Death Certificate Index currently covers the years 1913 - 1944. I ordered the certificate on February 27 and received notice that it was shipped the next day.

Think of 15 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of, musically shaped your world.
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep
Billy Squier - Don't Say No
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen - Lucky Town
Bryan Adams - 18 Til I Die
The Eagles - Eagles Live
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Foreigner - 4
Joe Cocker - Live
Journey - Time³
Little River Band - Greatest Hits
Pat Benatar - Crimes of Passion
Queen - The Game
Robert Plant - Now and Zen
Rod Stewart - A Night on the Town
* Note: My profound musical moments are usually attributed to a specific song, not the artist or the entire album. Looking through the discography of the artists responsible for those magical songs led me to choose the above albums...let me tell you, it wasn't easy! My iTunes Library is full of songs from artist's greatest hits releases. I'm reaching back a few years here.
Following From In Front
Lizzie is my fifth dog (three Australian Shepherds and one Corgi blend) from the Herding Class. She's the second one that does something I call, "Following from in front." My Aussie, Sydney, did it really well. Lizzie is now a close second.
When Lizzie first joined our family she would pretty much stay planted on the sofa when I left the room to do something. Oh, she would certainly keep a close eye on me. However, I have noticed in the last month or so that she now jumps down nearly every time I leave the room. Okay, so it's a little annoying if I'm going to be coming right back. She won't jump up on the sofa, which means I have to gift her a lift. Oh, excuse me. She WILL jump up if we're giving her a 'bye-bye' biscuit. She may be polite, but she LOVES her treats.
Now, I do like the idea of her WANTING to be with me, but can't she follow me from behind to do it? She gets in front of me as I'm walking about in the house and then, with a slightly anxious demeanor, turns back to see where I am and where I'm going. She hasn't run into anything...yet. I haven't crashed into her...yet. It's just a matter of time though if she keeps this up.
She also doesn't seem to know what to do with herself, while she's waiting for me to complete my task. She doesn't lie down and wait patiently, like Tucker did. She doesn't lie down and watch for my next move like Sydney did. She has a different agenda. One that I haven't figured out yet. She MAY be struggling with her place in the house. WE are certain that she belongs here, but SHE needs to feel it too. I just wish she would feel like she belongs from behind me rather than in front.

I spent many hours trying to locate several of my HILL and McINTYRE ancestors. I exhausted my online sources and plan to move on to the Family History Library catalog. In the meantime I'll try to be satisfied with all of this!
