Friends,Cousins,Fellow searchers With the upcoming holidays approaching fast and furious, I pause to take stock of all the fun that we find with the sharing of our personal search finds that really demonstrate that yup yup yup, we ARE one big family. No matter what our "belief" through the glory of searching and sharing we really find that inner peace of family. May in the new year that elusive piece of paper be found, that faded photo get identified, the ship of your clan, family, tribe be found. May the neat story tha says "This is who we are" get posted for all to enjoy. While on the lists, I have made some neat discoveries, shared things I found, met some "lost" cousins that I hope to meet some day soon, and while not all the info deals directly with my tree, Ireally enjoy the happiness that others expeirence in the finding of a family member. Man oh man it is neat to "feel" through the words expressed when that find is shared. So....my holiday wish is that you find that connection, may your secret santa get you that extra gift you wished for, may all your data have documentation, and your pictures have a cool story. Also for all of our families that have had some one "called home" our thoughts are with you this season. May your "spirit guide", no matter who you follow, bless you and yours.
