Wishing you the best of the season.......

It was the week before Christmas and all through the house, research was ongoing, can't keep up with my mouse....

Research never seems to stop does it?

Whether for genealogy, planning a trip, or learning how to fix the hot water heater..... every day is a research (and learning!) day.

Wishing you nothing but breakthroughs in your genealogy quests, happiness and good health in the New Year and always.....

May we cross paths in 2016, make intriguing connections and share new adventures!

Genealogy ~ All over the Place !

Genealogy, the more you know, the more you want to know....it's a learning experience at every turn. Oh, there is so much to learn! 

So grateful to learn from my friends, my genealogy friends......and to share the knowledge. 

I am active on Facebook "Shannon's Genealogy Friends" where people meet, exchange genealogy news and interests. Facebook's genealogy community as a whole is growing expeditiously. A few favourites: the Alberta Genealogical Society (AGS), several branches of the AGS, Genealogy & Historical Databases, Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK) International. The list goes on and on but let's step away from the computer shall we? 
A few goings on to note:
