I did work on the Ninth Generation of the Siderfin family continuing into the Robert-Line. I needed to add in abstracts of the wills and did complete that. I tried once again to find the Inland Revenue Wills for the two John Siderfins in 1814 and 1830. I also wrote to the Somerset Record Office to see if they could help me with ordering them. It would be good to see the entire will if I could. I am assuming that James Sanders abstracting of these two wills covered anything interesting but perhaps I shouldn't make that assumption and so I will try to purchase those two items.
The footnoting is going well and I do see that I will likely only complete the Ninth Generation by the end of the month if I do actually complete that in these two days. There isn't actually that much and I can complete without the wills but will have them as backup when I do the final read through.
Good exercise breaks yesterday and will keep that up today. Finished off the Frittata for dinner which I made the night before. It was lovely - fresh avocado, fresh spinach and fresh pepper along with the eggs and cheese of course and I use the liquid off of the yoghurt as the cream to stir into the eggs. Makes for an elegant dinner for sure along with a broccoli salad (raisins and cranberries).
Today more work on the Ninth Generation. I also need to get back to my Latin as yesterday was not a successful day. Perhaps today will go a little more smoothly. The vocabulary increase was larger than usual and I think I need to perhaps make up a card of the new words to look at them through the day. Although I have reached a point where I wonder whether I should just move on to the Latin on the UK website as I do not want to carry on conversations but rather I want to transcribe old documents. The training has been really good though. I am perhaps at a crossroads and will have to think out my direction going forward. I have been doing Latin for four months nearly. It is amazing how much I have learned.
My new project doing obituaries for my High School is picking up as well - two done and another needing to be done today. I like to have at least a day or two to think about the obituary before I prepare the one for the website. So far I have not known any of the people.
Friday again and I may rake the leaves out front later today. Time will tell.
Jumping Jacks and Teatime next.
