 This year was difficult, to say the least, but keep the faith in that the new year will be better! Holidays are always the perfect time to slow down and spend more time with, while enjoying your family; although, pretty much this whole year has been the perfect time to spend with family and loved ones! ;)
This "slow down period", is also the perfect time to get to know more about your family history, by sharing info, photos, and stories! :)

So happy I found the only 2 nieces, to a family album that was partially posted in my Facebook group Family Treasures Found, it made them happy, especially since they didn't have much info on their family...This one took me a couple of hours, but so glad I could help track them down and help them add to their family history! :)
This is your chance to have a short story of one of your "star" ancestors published in this years Jamboree 2021 Book "The Stars in Your Family", then available on Amazon after it's published! You can submit up to 2 entries! Click on the link for more information. 
Now, this was a cool treasure to help track down living relatives to... a diary, a genealogy goldmine, along with pics, etc! It was so sad that her own 3 surviving children did not want her diary! I would definitely want my mother's diary! Her nieces didn't either, but when a nephew found out, he called it "Treasure" and was so glad to have it for his family history! It took me about and hour for this one ;)

Update to the Congressman Farley Treasure Search:
His great grandson said it was like a Christmas gift, when I spoke to him and heard of this lost family "treasure", and to add to it, I will be building his tree from the quick one I did just to locate a living relative, and will sent it to him, to go with his new family treasure, and to add to his "Christmas gift"... I just love helping and bringing joy to others
So fun, it took me about 30-40 minutes to find quite a few living descendants to this one, and get in contact with one...so interesting...this person was was a 3 term congressman in Indiana! It was an awesome trunk filled with family treasures, that someone had posted in one of my Genealogy Facebook groups, Family Treasures Found! His great grandson was so excited! My heart is full :)
