November 2022 Newsletter

Happy Halloween! Are you enjoying the fall weather? November marks Thanksgiving, and it is the best time to share your family history and stories with others, while gathered around the table together! October was a huge month for genealogy and family history, as it was National Family History Month, but November is the start of family holiday gatherings and the best time to interview the older generations, before time runs out! This month also marks the midway point of my "Genealogy Wish Grants" application process! Have you applied yet?

If you have German ancestry, then don't forget to read my newest blog post on the top German genealogy websites! Have Filipino ancestry or just interested in learning about different heritages? Check out my blog honoring Filipino American History Month and my kids' ancestry!

Have you heard the news about AncestryDNA's new split by parent feature?! Check out my post on this invaluable feature for DNA beginners!

Are you understanding your REAL DNA "ethnicity" results? Read up on it on my newest post!

Be sure to check out my upcoming speaking events for November (FREE); my newest blog posts, for tips and tricks, and more news; and my newest social genealogy and family history questions on my Facebook Page and Group for this month! You're all invited to join!

Happy Fall!
