End of Year

Another genealogy year is winding down! But before it goes, take time during the holidays to talk with family members about your success stories, your genealogy puzzles, and your brickwalls. Listen when the family gathers to tell tales about the past- you never know where your next clue may be lurking. Be thankful for the family we have discovered and will discover in the next year of our journey. Ignite a new genealogy fire with the younger generations in your family. Keep the family trees growing. Happy holidays and keep hunting those forebears!
