What I learned from the A to Z Challenge



  1. I should have planned my posts better.  When I first started I was doing great and then weekend happened!  Next time I will plan ahead and have posts done and scheduled to post.
  2. I really like blogging!  I looked forward to writing each post and sharing my Legacy database and Evernote.
  3. I really like the comments from my readers.  I tried very hard to make sure that I commented on those who left me comments.
  4. There are a lot of great bloggers out there!
  5. Even those who are non genealogy addicts still found my blog interesting!
  6. I like sharing Legacy tips and tricks and how I use it in my genealogy.
  7. Evernote is great at archiving posts with a little help from IFTTT.  
  8. My Legacy to do list and my sources need some cleaning up.
  9. I still don't have a great way to track my genealogy -- A research log would be great if I could decide on the best way to do it.
  10. I LOVE genealogy!
I hope everyone has enjoyed the A to Z challenge for April.  If there are still questions about anything that I posted please let me know and I will help you the best that I can!  Thank you to those that have stopped by and I hope to see you here again!

{Off to plan some future blog posts...planning ahead!}

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...
