I also still need a consistent way to name files.]  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>find way to contact Steve P. and\/or his mother about pictures of the old Salt house before all the work was done  [This was on the January list and I still haven&#8217;t found a way to contact them.  Perhaps the realtor would give me that information?]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>find a new address for the Denmans I want to contact about the original deed to William Denman in 1795 in New York.  The letter I sent off in January came back with a mysterious postal code that there was no mail receptacle and that it couldn&#8217;t be forwarded.  Wonder what no mail receptacle means exactly?  Was their mailbox buried in the snow (always possible this winter)?  Hm.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Writing<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>write at least 2 blog posts (I&#8217;m on the schedule to post for the 14th and 28th I think)  [Plus my Genealogy To-Do List which doesn&#8217;t count as a regular post I have decided.
