John, IV,
LOL, I’ve never heard the poke in the eye theory before!!!
Now I know what you’re talking about. I went to someone’s profile on Ancestry, and it works great. I’ve never done that before, but I’ll definitely be using that in the future.
Thanks for the tip. I haven’t been on Ancestry too much lately but will get back to it after the holidays. I just renewed my membership for another year.
I’ve also talked to Dot, the president at the Historical Society, and am working on filing the Sale and Use Tax for the State of Maine for the Society. We haven’t sold anything this year because of COVID, but I believe we still have to file a return. I do it electronically, which is easy to do. That’ll be my priority once the holidays are over. I’m hoping I can convince her to let me go to the Society and look for Hillside and St. Cyril cemeteries’ maps. Not sure how she’ll feel about that because COVID is spiking in Maine right now, and she’s been overly cautious about going out in public.
We got a foot of snow today, and it’s beautiful outside. It’s freezing, which makes the snow light and fluffy and easy to shovel. We have our neighbor plow our driveway, thankfully, but we still have to clear our steps and front and back porches. That’s on tomorrow’s list of “things to do.” There were lots of closings and parking bans everywhere. We will definitely have a white Christmas!!!
Since we have lots of snow, I won’t be able to go to the cemeteries until Spring. I think I have most if not all the Elcik and Byras gravestone pictures, but I won’t know for sure until I see the maps at the HS. I’m very anxious to look at them, but that may have to wait for a while.
I’ll do that as soon as I’m able to do so.
