For those of you who may have come to this site looking for my information on other websites I maintain, I’m now using a separate website to post this information. You can see the latest & greatest at www.skeenagirlfriday.com

I was in the database tonight looking up some Judas info when I discovered that after my last major upload some of the family IDs changed, therefore messing up some of the document links to families. I’ve gone through the directory and I think I’ve got that problem solved now. Sorry for any confusion.
Hi everyone!
I just finished installing a major update to the database software, but I’ve run into a little snag in the menu links – some of them want to point to the wrong spot and may produce an error. I’m gonna try & do a temp fix, which may look a bit strange, while I try and get everything working kosher again.
Today I had an email from a site visitor asking about the Piapot Prairie Trails book of pioneer bios. It lead to two discoveries – a fan page on Facebook for Piapot history; and an online copy of the book, with a search engine.

I’ve just finished updating the database with my latest GEDCOM. This includes a major update of the Schmudlach genealogy which I’ve been discussing for the past year or so. It looks like all the photos/documents still match to the proper IDs.
The “living” flags on some people may be in error. Please let me know of any errors you do find. I work hard on the data to try and keep this accurate, but some records still slip through when I don’t have any death records.
The software has also been upgraded to the latest version.
I’ve found a new way to integrate the genealogy database into my WordPress theme, so if you’ve been a past visitor and things look a bit messed up, it’s okay – I’m just working out the kinks.
The new database integration means I have to make changes to the theme I’ve been using. So I have graphics to change, columns to move around, categories to change.
So please bear with me while I experiement.
As I was between jobs, I decided to take a vacation to the lower part of British Columbia. I met up with my aunt Ev at her home in Tulameen and on Friday, March 26th we travelled to Oliver. The day was overcast and cool, but as we entered the church with our Overton cousins, I could see blue patches of sky to the west. By the time we came out of the church, it was a beautiful party sunny Spring afternoon. Interment followed right after at the Oliver cemetery – Faustine’s plot is with the rest of the Overton stones (photos to follow in another post).
I saw cousins I haven’t seen in years, and some I’ve never met. Chris & Elaine Overton, Jan & Rod Hobbs, Bill & Rhonda Soares, Sheran Sellers, Timothy Stanley, Tammy Stanley, Diane Stanley, Sherry Camelli and other cousins I didn’t get introduced to.
There was a lovely reception at the Elks Hall.
I took a course on designing Facebook fanpages a couple of months ago. Just before Christmas I sat down and created one for a company I have previously worked for and now have as an internet marketing client. Come and check out the page I built for the Northern Motor Inn - click here.

InnBC directory
The first website I built for the Munson family of companies. It is a directory promoting the links to the websites of the various companies. Although some of the companies have since developed their own domain names, I’ve kept this domain active as some of the current publishing links (on and offline) still use a form of the domains www.innbc.com and www.innbc.ca
