The Twelve Days of A Genealogy Christmas
Dec 24th
On the Twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
Twelve census searches,
Eleven Printer ribbons,
Ten e-mail contacts,
Nine headstone rubbings,
Eight birth and death dates,
Seven town clerks sighing,
Six second cousins,
Five coats of arms,
Four GEDCOM files,
Three old wills,
Two CD-ROMS
And a branch in my family tree.

Amazing video of a child prodigy
Dec 20th
This YouTube video is a an excerpt from CNN (believe it or not). It’s a brief portrait of a 12 year old girl who claims it is her faith that allows her to paint as the masters. She also taught herself to play piano and now composes her own music.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
