My 2x great grandparents Olga Friebel and William Thomas. Olga came from Germany at age 3 (in 1883) and William came from the Azores at age 19. Neither spoke the other's language, and barely spoke English. Both came for new opportunities (Olga's father had "gold fever"). These two souls are two of the many immigrants that built my family tree. We are all immigrants. ❤️

I hope you're having a lovely holiday season, for those of you who celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas or Kwanzaa or all of the above or none of the above!

Many holiday traditions have been handed down through time. Do you have a favorite? One of mine is my mother used to buy us new pajamas every Christmas Eve so Christmas morning we would wake up wearing new pajamas. I continued that tradition with my children, and I continue it with my grandchildren.

I hope you are warm and safe, that your tummies are full, that your families are nearby. I wish you peace and joy and love at this time of year and if you are alone, please know you are never truly alone. You can always message me here. I'm happy to respond.

Great take

Do you use DNA 🧬 within your research? It can unlock so many potential connections!

What about your local LDS library? Google? Vital Records websites?

There are many tools available within the genealogy framework that can assist you in your research. They all have their own set of strengths and challenges. I always encourage the use of as many tools as you have available in your search. This allows for cross referencing and often times, provides many pieces to the puzzle you are putting together.

Using DNA results can be confusing and frustrating but I do recommend it's use, if it is available. One book I recommend is DNA for Dummies, a silly title but filled with great information. I also recommend the AncestryDNA 101 webinar on YouTube.

What are some family traditions that you have held onto, passed down from great grandparents to grandparents to parents to you, maybe to your children or brothers and sisters? Keep track of them time on traditions deserve to be passed down.

Laid my mother to rest yesterday. No more talking to her about her childhood. No more recipes to be shared. No more memories of the places we visited together. She wasn't an easy person to love, but she encouraged my endeavors, especially the family tree work ask your questions now while you still have the chance spend time with your parents if you can spend time with your family grandparents great grandparents if you're lucky enough to have them still around. Not only do they hold a wealth of information regarding the family and history of your family and their memories in their lives, but they also are pillars of knowledge from things that came before things that shouldn't be forgotten things that should be forgotten, and an understanding of those things gone by.

In these unusual times, it helps to remember where we came from. Was our family traveling for new adventures? To escape war? To find work? To the "land of milk and honey"? What's YOUR story?

Polishing silver is a labor of love if it's silver that has been handed down through the generations. My mother recently passed away and all of her silver has been left to me to gently bring back to life. These are items that she inherited from her grandparents and her parents, and that she received through her lifetime. I consider it in honor to restore these items and at the same time, I wish she was still here so I could ask her about them; What memories they invoke for her; what stories lay behind these treasured keepsakes. Love you, mom miss you.
