BARS'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS#7-CHRISTMAS TIME FOR INFORMATION

Christmas can be a good time when family is gathered to get some information. Lots of time to talk about family stories and traditions. Why not this 150 year get people's memories of how they celebrated as a child? What they love about the season? Who they celebrated with? Where? Bring some Christmas past Christmas pictures for others to scan, photograph on their cell phones or cameras. Have paper and pens handy. Photograph, video tape, - record those stories anyway you know how or what medium you use  After Christmas write down the menu or be a foodie and photograph the food, who was present at your feast, was there a theme. Is it a first Christmas with some people missing. Remember those people. Again get people's memories! Family stories are good! Genealogy is enriched with those stories. So between courses, do a little genealogy. Merry Christmas everyone!
