Winter Games Progress Report #5

With staying up too late last night and after a long day of data entry at work, my brain was a little too fuzzy to work on the bio of my grandfather that I was planning to do, so after watching Faces of America and posting this week's Orphan Photo, I decided to read some new blogs. This prompted me to enter another category - Reach Out & Perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness. What a nice way to spend an evening.

Here is my progress report so far for the categories I am participating in:

1. Go Back and Cite Your Sources!
