Back to Blake

Cleaning all accomplished yesterday and back to Blake today. I will continue reading and I am about half way through the 80+ pages. How long will this book be? I suspect with all the transcriptions and record charts that this book could be looking at between 700 and 800 pages roughly. Time will tell. Should I enter in the indexing text yet? I think not. I will do the same as the Siderfin book and do that at the very end. I have a sort of rough plan in my mind as to how this book will flow and will take my time. I do not see the Blake families of Somerset (likely descendant of the Calne Blake family) or Devon or Cornwall or East Anglia or Herefordshire being part of this book. The Calne Blake family only comes in because of my thought that this family is descendant of the Le Blak family that applied for a market permit in 1274 whilst living in Rouen Normandy. If I can prove that then perhaps the Somerset Blake family becomes more interesting to mention in the book but that also involves proving that line so may avoid it. The book is not meant to be a study of the Blake family name in the British Isles but primarily of my Blake family of Andover, Hampshire, England. 

So today and tomorrow on the Blake family and then Friday and Saturday on the Pencombe family of North Molton. Sunday will be a quiet day and perhaps some thought on organization as I have a number of items I want to accomplish including the phasing of the DNA of my grandparents and great-grandparents as I have over one hundred new matches to work into my database. I still want to scan my husband's thesis and that sort of went to the back burner at some point and needs to come back into focus. I am working on the powerpoint file for the construction of Orleans United Church, other powerpoint files of the 40+ binders of pictures which Edward put together from before our marriage until the early 2000s (so 1965 to 2002). The remainder of the pictures are electronic and I can also put them into powerpoint files in order as he has indexed them up to the end of 2020 - amazing really to have more than 55 years of a family in pictures. But my father was also like that taking many many pictures in his lifetime and my younger sister has put them together. 

Back to regular exercise periods today now that the cleaning is accomplished. I never make New Years Resolutions although occasionally have thought about that but I always find New Years is so busy I do not think about it until later. Not sure that I will start now!

Drinking my tea and working on my solitaire puzzles and then Yoga and breakfast.
