  • Search for every ancestor, don't play favorites

    05 February 2013

    In my early years of accumulating information from previous family researchers, I found a large number of family group records with only the direct line ancestor listed as a child. So the pedigrees went back a number of generations showing only son to...

  • First Look at Microsoft Surface and Windows 8

    23 January 2013

    I recently purchased a PC laptop computer that came with Windows 8 installed. Shortly thereafter, I was able to use a new Surface tablet from Microsoft. I have noticed for most people, it is difficult to separate the device from the operating system....

  • Fog

    05 February 2013

    I suppose if you live by the sea shore, fog is pretty much a common occurrence. But here in the desert Southwest, fog is really unusual. I am fascinated how the colors and perspective changes when there is a heavy fog. I still remember walking to school...

  • Tangelos

    13 January 2013

    Tangelos are a hybrid mixture of tangerines and grapefruit. The juice is our favorite and we could drink it all year but this is always the first tree to get completely picked of fruit. One of the bonuses of our mild winters in the desert is that is the...

  • History vs. Genealogy?

    13 January 2013

    If genealogy deals with the history of families, then aren't genealogy and history really the same thing simply with a different focus? You would think this would be a simple issue, but in fact, it is not. History, as such, is generally defined in terms...

  • Country of the Red Rocks

    05 February 2013

    Where the Colorado Plateau drops off into the deserts of Arizona, we usually call that the "Rim." This is in central Arizona where the sandstone of the Plateau are visible. The Rim in this area is usually referred to by the name of a town and a creek:...

  • The Shaffer Trail

    29 March 2013

    Yes, that line down there on the edge of that cliff is a road and yes, I have driven that road in a Suburban loaded with my wife and small children. Yes, I am crazy and fortunate to be alive and yes it really is as bad (or worse) than it looks. It is...

  • The Untold Story

    07 May 2013

    Walking Arizona Every thing in life has a story and Hopi paintings are no exception. The problem is that the painting does not come with the story attached, so sometimes you have to guess. This bird is eating corn (or talking on a microphone, unlikely)...

  • I like the lichen

    08 June 2013

    Walking Arizona Every once in a while I come across a beautiful specimen of lichen. I love to see these hardy plants because they add so much texture and color to the rocks around Arizona.
