Ideas for Christmas gifts

(Note...see the very beginning of this blog for important steps on how to get started on your genealogy).


As usual, Christmas seems to come very quickly this time of year. What to give who, is usually the stressful question.

Something different could be gifts in the form of easy genealogy/family history type projects. Here are links to some websites that offer ideas:

How are you coming along with your genealogy?


(Note...see the very beginning of this blog for important steps on how to get started on your genealogy).

Doing genealogy is fascinating and addictive but it can become overwhelming and discouraging at times…especially when we hit a brick wall and can’t seem to go any further with a particular family line.

Please don’t allow yourself to get so discouraged that you stop researching. Just choose another family line to follow for now and down the road in time, as more and more ancestral records are made available, you will be able to find the information that you can’t right now. Investing time in doing genealogy brings many rewards and blessings.
