Early Christmas Present!

Dec 01, 2010 16:10

Lots of things to be happy about today! GoS is doing an advent with some of their top creators for the whole month of December {both Sims 2 and Sims 3}! xie_belle is going to try and do the same thing in her journal! The December Theme is something I've been wanting to do, but now that I have a theme to contribute, I'm going to finally finish what I had ( Read more... )

project: genealogy, real life: cleaning, game: sims 2, family: chris

What do you know about the console versions of TS3?

juri_anne December 1 2010, 22:30:52 UTC

Nothing, unfortunately. :( I'm going to ask for the XBox one for Christmas, but I'll probably end up getting it with the cash I get. You thinking of getting it?

raynedanser December 1 2010, 22:32:30 UTC

We got the boy a Wii for Christmas, so I was thinking about it. :-)

I've heard great things about it, so I'd say go for it. :) I was really hesitant to ask for it for the 360, and I LOVE achievements, but the fact that I hear that the console versions are actually pretty good helped me make my decision. If I don't get it for Christmas, as I said, I'll probably end up getting it some time at the beginning of next year.

haha, I LOVE RootsMagic. I definitely think it's the better program. I just found the Shareable CD option and I'm going to make a few copies of my tree for my Aunts this year!

BAH, He's just not a genealogist. Only genealogy realize how worth it Ancestry is. Really for the censuses alone. Not to mention the SSDI. I've got Kentucky and Ohio death records there. I could go on and on. ^.^

I love RootsMagic too. :) I have the free version, and I figured that was enough, but as I go, there are things I'd like to do that the free version just doesn't let me. I saw the sale and thought, why not! Especially since it comes with a how-to book that I'm sure I'll be using a lot. :)

Hmm...I think I've got family that lived in Ohio, so I'm sure those death records would come in handy! *pouts* He better let me get it!

I felt that way too! I didn't get the book and there's things I'm only just finding out now. LOL. So if you find anything cool, let me know!

It's only an index on Ancestry, which is still helpful but if they died between 1908 and 1953 FamilySearch has the images.

I'm so full of questions! :D Because, honestly, you're the only person I know that can appreciate what we're doing. :)

I think I may have asked this before, but how do you store your documents? Say, you find an index on Ancestry or FamilySearch. What do you do with it? Print it to have a hard copy? Save it to your computer? Input the information as a guess and try to find some other hard information to support it?
