Each new year, I take some time to clean out file folders and straighten up things. I like to start fresh and it gives me a chance to see what needs fixing, updating, mending and so on. One of the things I do is update my files on family history.
We would like to wish our readers a happy holidays. Whether it is Christmas or some other day that brings you peace and joy, we want you all to know that you are loved and appreciated.
Merry Christmas and Blessings for the new year! We will see you in 2026!
You can see some of my posts about Christmas traditions here, here, and here.

We hope all of our family and friends enjoy time with others and good food on this Thanksgiving Day!
We’ll be back with more family history next week. We are looking forward to opting outside Friday. Walt’s work is always closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

I recently received a certificate for 15 years of service at work. As I was looking at it, I thought about how someone looking at it in the future might think I had worked there for the last 15 years.
It seems appropriate to talk about cemeteries on Halloween. One of the reports I can do on my software is Burials. So I can see all the people who have a burial fact.
