Hi everyone, Last challenge of the year, coming up!... December is the month many of us celebrate a special child's birth and gift-giving is at its highest level. Since giving is the predominant, worldwide monthly theme, we're going to pick up on that. This month's challenge is two-fold: 1.) Send in your births and christenings from people born in the county; and/or... 2.) Send a gift to the list. Gifts might be be: * census extractions for a family or two, or perhaps the entire county! * a list of names on a year's tax records * a biography * 3-4 generations of a family * a will * a deed * county obituaries for a given period * immigration/emigration records * a family's bible record Your gift doesn't have to be limited to what I've given above; those were just some ideas. The point of this is to give a gift to the list and have some fun doing it. Select one or both challenges to work on ~ it's your choice. I hope you'll all have a safe and happy holiday season. Colleen
