Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your "Dear Genea-Santa" Letter

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 2021 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 database. I also attended several webinars and indexed many records.

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. Books - Anything genealogy, DNA, and or writing-related.

2. Hints, Leads & Records- Any nudges that would point me in the direction of 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.

4. DNA kits- It's about to be five years since my genealogy research journey began, and I would like DNA kits for my parents.

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

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 ...
