April 5 to 11

Monday
Rain in the morning and then some sun in the afternoon. More work on the Tillsonburg Kipp family. Someone also sent me a US Census reference which I followed up and added more sources to a couple of families in the Kip Family in America which is up on World Connect. Biked 10.5 km. Walked 3.5 km.

Tuesday
Cloudy today and cooler. Not much going on today. As editor of The Ottawa Genealogist I went to the board meeting of the Ottawa Branch, OGS in the evening. Walked 10.4 km.

Wednesday
Some rain this morning. Cooler. We had our daughter two dogs over for the day. They were having some house repairs done. We took them for a walk after the rain stopped. Then we went shopping for a few things. Finished my work on the Tillsonburg Kipp family. I will probably go back at it later. Made contact and had a nice chat with Scott Aaron on Skype. Walked 5.8 km.

Thursday
Some rain late afternoon and overnight. Cold and windy. The back fifty of our lot is soggy. We had our daughter two dogs over for the day. That takes up time. Started work on sourcing the family of John Kipp and Polly Spotten. We set up a new 10" laptop which we will use when on the road. Very light. Walked 7 km.

Friday
Cloudy and cold today. Today I spent the afternoon working on the next issue of The Ottawa Genealogist. It is due for the printer by the end of next week. Walked 7.7 km.

Saturday
Not a bad day with cloud and sun and cool. We headed off up the Ottawa Valley to Arnprior for the Region 8 OGS Annual Meeting and Family History fair. We had a good turnout and a new chair was elected. The current secretary remained. The speakers were good as well, two speaking about cemetery topics and the third about the Kashubs of Canada (Polish) who settled at Wilno, Ontario. We were tired when we got back home. I then spent several hours sitting at the computer sourcing the family of John Kipp and Polly Spotten. Walked 5.5 km.

Sunday
Cloudy with periods of sun and windy. Did some more trimming of shrubs and bushes today. This is really early for this. I spent several hours working on the family of John Kipp and Polly Spotten. Walked 5.4 km.
