Come on, everybody, join in and accept the mission and execute it with precision.

1) Answer these questions:

a) Did you ever send a letter to Santa Claus?
b) Did you ever visit Santa and "make a list?"
c) Do you still believe in Santa Claus?
d) When did you find out "the truth" about Santa Claus?

2) Tell us your answers in a blog post of your own, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook post. Be sure to leave a comment on this post with a link to your answers.

a) Did you ever send a letter to Santa Claus?

No, I didn't. I probably written a letter to him as a assignment in elementary school.

b) Did you ever visit Santa and "make a list?"

No, I never visited Santa. I did make lists for parents, when I got older. Maybe starting around the ages of 8-10.

c) Do you still believe in Santa Claus?

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but the cause and purpose of the idea, I do believe. You tend to get in the jolly spirit around Christmas time. The excitement the holiday brings to children's faces is beautiful.

d) When did you find out “the truth” about Santa Claus?

I am not really sure. I don’t even remember my parents ever telling me about Santa. I think I always knew the truth. As a kid, I remember thinking, “How did Santa get in the house?” when there was no chimney. I didn’t care how the presents came in house, I just wanted toys.

Happy Holidays,

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Which Ancestors Would You Like to Talk to?

It's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun! Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to: 1) We sometimes find we have questions we would love to discuss with our ancestors - the who, what, when, why and how questions that might help with our genealogy research. 2) Which ancestors would you like to talk to? What questions would you ask? 3) Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. There are so many ancestors I would love to talk to, but I will only list my top 5 ancestors. 💗 1) My first choice would be my great-grandmother, Clara Loretta Scott Armstead (1904-1998). I would ask her what her biological mother's name is, the reasoning behind why her brothers were placed in an orphanage, and why her ex-husband, Anthony Tony Armstead, was abusive toward her sons and possibly ...

Vestal (Images of America) - Book Review

This is the first edition of "What's NEW in my Bookshelf?" Recently, I received a book called Images of America-Vestal by Vestal's town historian, Margaret Hadsell. Here are my personal thoughts on the book. Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1. Prehistoric Vestal 2. Vestal 3. Ross Corners 4. Tracy Creek 5. Twin Orchards 6. Vestal Center 7. Willow Point 8. Mile Wide Summary The book mainly shows photos of prominent settlers and locations around the town of Vestal. It briefly mentions pre-Vestal and the families, churches, schools, businesses, etc., within parts of Vestal. Evaluation I liked how the author inserted plat maps into the book. At the beginning of each chapter, there is a section of the entire map in which part of it will be "zoomed in" on specific areas of Vestal. I was a bit disappointed with this book because I expected more context, though I did love...
