Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:

It's Saturday Night again -

Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision. Here's your chance to sit on Genea-Santa's lap (virtually) and tell him your Christmas genealogy-oriented wish list:

1) Write your 2020 Genea-Santa letter. Have you been a good genealogy girl or boy? What genealogy-oriented items are on your Christmas wish list? They could be family history items, technology items, or things that you want to pursue in your ancestral quest.

2) Tell us about them in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook Status post. Please leave a link on this post if you write your own post.

Dear Genea-Santa,

I have been a good genea-girl this year. I have written blog posts giving tips regarding genealogy research. I have added more names, facts, notes, and sources to my new database.

Thank you for the books you gave me last year. I have read some of them. Next year, I hope to read more.

All I want for Christmas this year...

1. Ancestral Lineage Healing Books - I started to dip my toe into this topic this year. I started talking to Jennifer Holik, a military researcher, intuitive and ancestral healer. If you are interested in this topic, join Jen's upcoming webinar entitled Ancestral Souls: Introduction to Ancestral Souls Healing. She also did a webinar regarding this topic. She did earlier this year, you can find and purchase it here.

2. Hints, Leads & Records- Any nudges that would point me in the direction to finding answers for my brick walls would be great.

3. Time - I hope to utilize and prioritize things I need to do. I tend to waste time and do unimportant stuff. So, I hope to master this soon.

Thank you Genea-Santa for all you do. There will be chocolate cookies waiting for you on the kitchen table.

Happy Holidays!
