Giving Thanks
As I reflect upon this past month and my blessings, I would be ungrateful if I did not acknowledge the many blessings I have, especially when it comes to genealogy. I have been greatly blessed with the ability, resources and means to devote my time to research and writing. I have been able to devote years and years to research at libraries, museums, repositories, cemeteries, colleges, and archives. I have been blessed to learn technology, computer programs, digital photography, photo restoration, scanning, and other skills. I have been blessed to take advantage of education within the genealogical community as well as community resources and college classes. I am grateful for a personal collection of books, maps, and devices that allow me to research in my own home. I have been blessed with family who are willing to share their time, information, photographs, documents...
