Google for Genealogists Webinar sponsored by Legacy Family Tree

I just attended the Google for Genealogists Webinar by Thomas MacEntee sponsored by Legacy Family Tree.  I thought I was using Google for the maximum potential, boy I was wrong.  While I have been using many of the Google features Thomas shared quite a few others that I should be taking advantage of.  The webinar is free from the Legacy Family Tree http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Webinars.asp for the next 30 days and will then be available for purchase.  Now I think the banana bread the husband was looking forward to and the few client tasks I need to do may need to wait while I "Google play" for awhile.

I encourage everyone to check out the webinar offerings at both Legacy Family Tree and at RootsMagic http://www.rootsmagic.com/webinars/ for help learning the either software program.  Legacy Family Tree also has several more non software webinars coming up such as one with newspapers and another chasing the females in your family tree.

Tucson History - St. Mary’s Hospital and Sanitarium

Image
cir 1885                                                                                     cir 1910 Dedicated in 1880, St. Mary’s hospital was fully supported by the residents of Tucson. Originally it had been planned as a school, however, the Bishop Salpointe decided to make the school a hospital as it neared its completion. The hospital opened with twelve beds, Dr. John C. Hardy, and four Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelot: Sister St. Martin Dunn, Sister Julia Ford, Sister Basil Morris, and Sister Mary John Noli. A second story was added to the hospital in 1882. The physician staff grew by six and the hospital had the capacity of fifty beds by 1900.   The Arizona State Genealogical Society sells a book documenting admissions to the hospital 1909 to 1920.
