Thursday P day wins--and a full meal time on Wednesday to boot. 19 August 2016

I got to the Library a few minutes before prayer meeting and was able to share my "Tuesday P day does not work!" concerns with Sister L.  She agreed, and asked if I had any ideas how to change the schedule, which I did, of course.  I committed to stay with the late day on Wednesday as long as I could have P day on Thursday to recover. I left it up to her as to whether my research and temple day would be Friday or Saturday--and I was very pleased she gave me Saturday afternoon.  In addition, I now will actually have a full meal time on Wednesday.  Because choir practice went until 5:20 or 5:25 I have only had half an hour, so she scheduled me for an extra hour.  Ordinarily I will try to get back to the Library before that hour is up, but it is great to have a full meal time scheduled.

Something I found yesterday that I did not write about was a computer-generated hint for one of my ancestors.  When I checked it out, I saw that the two people were about 2 generations apart.  I had the idea, though, to check to see who had entered the other person, and the name gave me a chuckle--I was quite sure it was Elder P. that I have been helping with deciphering names, so I sent a message via FamilySearch.  This morning when I saw him I asked if he had checked his FamilySearch messages--and I was right--it was him! Today was the last day for him and Sister P on the floor. When I started deciphering the film he was working on I had noticed the Ruhl surname.  Anna Maria Katharina Ruehl was my 2nd great grandfather's first wife.  The villages are pretty close in Germany, so probably Elder P is a very distant cousin--but she is not the connection.

I was able to help a sister with some Family Tree concerns today, and in the meantime learned how to use Matricula online, a great source for images of many church records in Austria, Germany and Poland.  She already had a hard copy, but the source was not attached to the tree.  While working with the site and finding that record I realized that due to a common first name, a generation was skipped.  Tomorrow we should be able to fix that, since my Saturday research does not start until next week.

The sister and I ended up sitting with one another in the temple. I got to complete one family name.  Next week I should have another one ready to go.

It was so good to get to talk with my Sweetheart tonight. He is about half-way through a 6-night stretch of work. Anybody know of a reliable nurse who wants to work nights in West County? Sure wish they could find someone to hire.
