New York City in the Winter still has many activities during the winter months. It has been awhile since I attended the New York City Public Library at 5th Avenue and 52 street. She is still a grand building! I was happy to see many people waiting outside in the snow to wait for the doors to open for the public.
I went upstairs and rented a computer and signed up for a library card. I did preliminary research on their data base for anything related to Cist family. I came up with an article about Henry M. Cist running for Mayor of College Hill, but lost to Mr. Worthington, an old Cincinnati family. I am retrieving it.

Sanibel Island, Florida March 7-14th visit.
I have implemented a working vacation on Sanibel Island, Florida by visiting Sanibel Public Library for the week, March 7-14th. (This is the first time that my mom has been to Florida since my dad passed away. I am down here visiting her. We are having a good time together). The staff at the library is extremely helpful! A special thank you to Joanne and Duane who helped me find connections to add to this blog.
Henry M. Cist was a Union soldier who fought at the Battle of Chickamauga and Knoxville, Tennessee. I am searching for connections to why the Cist family owned The Thistle Lodge on Sanibel Island. The government issued homestead acts to encourage settlers to visit and stay in Florida. Henry M. Cist was the secretary of the alumni association of the Battlefield of Chickamauga for many years. He is the author of Army of the Cumberland.
Mr. Duane E. Shaffer helped me locate Florida's Civil War Explorations Into Conflict, Interpretations and Memory, by Dr. Irwin D. S. Winsboro. Dr. Winsboro is Professor of History at Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Florida. In his book he discusses the social, economic, political, and settlement issues that faced the State of Florida during and after the Civil War. I am putting together information about Henry M. Cist military pension income and personal connections that helped the Cist family make a decision to have a home at Thistle Lodge on Sanibel Island. My goal is to help educate other descendants of Civil War veterans, both Union and Confederate soldiers, Black and White soldiers to find their own connections and find happiness, fulfillment, a sense of belonging, and healing.
Mr. Duane E. Shaffer showed me his novel from the library collection, Men of Granite New Hampshire's Soldiers in the Civil War. I am not finding many connections with this book because most of their battles were elsewhere, but that is not to say there are no connections. I just have not found them yet. I am taking names from these books and making cross references from Encyclopedia of the American Civil War A Political, Social, and Military History, David S. Heidler and Jeanne T. Heidler, editors. As a scholar, I would like to point out the immense work that went into all these reference books! I have written down the mailing address for this book to ask if the editors would consider adding Henry M. Cist involvement in the Civil War in their next edition. I have done this before. When I take down names from different books and find connections this helps me to find out more about how societies, groups, and decisions are made to form cities, states, and grow America. These men and women who shed their blood, starved, and made other sacrifices had the right to add to the growth of America after the American Civil War.
I asked my family to make reservations at the Thistle Lodge restaurant on Thursday, March 13th. The lovely lady who greeted us shared with me certain photos throughout the restaurant. I remember my father showing me old photographs of the Cist family in the front yard. I went up stairs and to my left was the photograph that I remember seeing as a child long ago. I thanked the hostess. The menu insert gave me added history of the Lodge.
Additionally, I looked through American Family Name, Patrick Hanks, Editor, and found no reference to the Cist family name.

Camp Tech Blogging Seminar in Toronto
This blog is not necessarily about Charles Cist, but how I am navigating this blog with current technologies and new skills to improve the interest in the Cist family blog.
I navigated through Google about blogging events in Toronto for February 2015. I learned about Camp Tech located at 215 Spadina Avenue in downtown Toronto. Camp Tech's goal is social innovation for small businesses. An individual can become a member of Camp Tech for a monthly fee. It is very reasonable for new owners and established business owners. The office space is earthy and filled with wood floors and ample spaces for classes. Staff members are very down to earth and will help assist you with your explained needs.
Ms. Wendy Kam Marcy, co-founder, of www.hipurbangirl.com was the guest monitor for the evening. She presented a full, fact- filled, evening on how to improve your blog, increase readership, engage more readers to respond to post, and check statistical analytic.
First, Find a passion topic, create a niche, understand your target, focus, and write about it.
Second, review your competition, get guest bloggers to post and review your own blog.
Thirdly, increase clicks by creating contests, event listings, story-telling, have a blog that is fast loading, mobile, and is professional looking.
Four, keep post to a minimum of 400 words/ max 800 words.
Fifth, get affiliate marketing to your blog, selling ad space, stay away from paid link exchanges! Add more video to blog content.
Finally, just do it. I continue to do research on Cist family. My travels are taking me to different libraries in the Midwest. I am working on a trip to Philadelphia when the snow melts.
