InShaw Blog Update- May 2026

There’s a Truxton Circle article I’m sitting on that I need to rewrite.

I’m also a church archivist for a church I don’t belong to. There’s some work that I’ve been putting off. I said I would get to it in Spring. Spring is over, and haven’t done anything. But I have done some preliminary oral history work. This is time consuming and has taken my attention away from this blog.

And I’m not particularly interested anymore in doing property histories. What makes me happy is researching people. The DC Recorder of Deeds is very helpful with looking up people, but I don’t want it to be my main thing. Since I need to clean up my census data, I’m going to see if I can mix blog writing with data clean up.

And there are personal things or life in general. I suspect getting older makes it harder to do as much as I used to. sigh.
