Merry Christmas



 
 
 
I am taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays. I will be back in January with more articles which may lead to mention of your ancestors, or about how they lived. In the meantime I leave you with a few interesting tidbits.
 
Thank you for tuning in each week - I wish for you a very happy holiday season and finding lots of ancestors in the new year.
