We are 'way off the 'strict' subject of genealogy' or are we? Isn't it important to learn all we can about our ancestors, including what might have been happening in their daily life - not just as adults, but as children too? After all, this is what puts some 'meat' on the 'bones' of name, date, place, and event. Personally, I'm glad to see some activity on the list - especially at this time of the year! As long as we don't get too carried away <grin> I know all of you are very busy getting ready for the jolly old man in the red suit, but I do want to wish each and every one of you a most Joyful Holiday Season.
