B is for Blog Posts


I blog about my ancestors but how do I keep track of what I've posted without searching my blog?

Here's what I do : I did a post on January 19, 2014 about my Third Great Grandfather Edward C. Lewis.  I then selected my post and did a print to PDF and saved it in my Genealogy notebook under the Lewis surname.  Then I went to Edward in Legacy and attached the PDF to the Blog Event/Fact that I created.




This is Edward's information.

Edwards Individual Information screen.  Under the Event/Fact you see an
Event/Fact Blog Post {where the green arrow is}.

This is what the Event/Fact looks like.  It includes the name of the
Blog and the date it was posted.
You can add an image by clicking on the image icon
{the icon with the green box around it}.

Select add media and then document.  Select the document you want
linked to your Event/Fact.

Now when I want to see what I have already posted about Edward on my blog I just have to go to his Blog Post Event/Fact and to the linked document and I don't have to search my entire blog looking to see what I have.  And this is a great backup of your blog posts.

I wonder what the letter C will bring us tomorrow??

I also found that you can search the U.S. Marine Corps Casualty Index, 1940-1958 , at Ancestry.com.  It gives the casualty date, type, unit, and service number.  There is a link to go to another website from the Ancestry database but that link does not work. {I believe...
