What I mean by improving skills is that writing highlights where the gaps are. Better citations? Write up my citations formally. (Sadly the Vivaldi implementation of Wordpress does not include an endnote feature, so I had to work around that.)

Additionally, I found I'd never procured a copy the marriage record for Flora's second marriage, to Michael Lucey. So that's now on my list to do.

I'm endlessly fascinated by pro-wrestling. Yesterday I started researching a cousin in my family tree who might have been wrestling during the period when wrestling was making the transition from shoot to work.

Unfortunately the Compiled Military Service File for Peter Weiss isn't super useful to me. For instance, this inventory of his effects could have told me whether a family member received his belongings, but it doesn't.

I have two pieces of correspondence in my inbox. One is from the Regensburg Catholic Archive. I don't think it will have any substantive information, as the last correspondence with them was me asking if I needed to put down a deposit for some research.

The second is from the National Archives, which I believe is the CMSR for someone I think might be the brother of my 2nd great grandfather, Anton Weiss.
