PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

Pandababy is going to a class beginning today through Dec 11th, and...

these four weeks may have fewer postings here on Pandababy. The class is on "Mastering Family Tree Maker". I have used Family Tree Maker for years, including its amazing 'sync' feature, but have not been able to take advantage of other technical features. The class, sponsored by Family Tree University, costs $$$, and I plan to be present for all of it.

Now is a good time to review what you may have missed -- this blog goes back to 2007.

It is also a good time to consider what you can add to our digital family tree, whether at WikiTree.com, or FamilySearch.org, or Ancestry.com. Do you have any good pictures you could upload? Or any special family stories you could write down and share?

Maybe there is a podcast or two, or a class, that you want to take. American Ancestors has a treasure trove of seminars, and so does Ancestry, as well as Family Tree University and shorter freebies in the magazine. Some of these are free, some are inexpensive and others cost $$$ - but are worth it.

Don't forget to read the featured book from this blog yesterday. The Brazen Overlanders of 1845 is the best I've seen for explaining the driving forces behind the Oregon Trail immigration.
