Thing 10

Well, this is it folks!! All good things must come to an end..or do they??
This was relatively easy. I have searched the library database before and
have also helped our patrons use it, so that wasn't rocket science.
I liked the Heritage Online link to Abraham Linclon's census record of 1860. There were 2 Abraham Lincolns listed in 2 different counties. The 51 year old was the president, not the 22 year old, i am quite sure of that since Lincoln was born in 1809. So, yes I did manage to find the old guy! Not to mention the fact that he was born in KY!
The first headline that came up when I went onto the Newspaper link was "Mark your calendar Today march 18" - Anyway, that's what I saw..hope I was in the right place!!
I then went into the local history of Roselle archives..neat to see the Gorski food store and the pics of when it was under water in 1987!!! That's the year we moved to this area, and 3 days after we moved in, the rain came down and didn't stop for a while!! I'll never forget that!
I've learned quite a bit on playtime 2.0!!! It was fun as well as informative!
