This post should be able to write itself! I have a wish list of genealogy ideas that I add to all the time. I hope Santa is reading this.
My top three gift ideas are:
1.
Flip Pal Mobile Scanner-I saw a video on this and think it would be great to take to the family reunion.
2. NEHGS Membership Renewal-I am already a member, but feel guilty spending the money on this. Of course, each time they send me their book and gift catalog I will have a never ending list of wants.
3. Archival Quality Boxes-I need these to store my photos, documents and heirlooms I am acquiring.
And Dear Genealogical Genie, I would give up my wish list for this one wish. I would love to surprise my husband with a trip to The Netherlands. I have traced his ancestry to the Netherlands in 1470. There is a family church with a Luijendijk stained glass window in it, in Vierpolders, Netherlands. I have pictures but would love to see it with my hubby. I enjoyed researching his family as much as I have mine.
An outstanding list, and a lot like mine. I have a wand scanner, but now I want the Flip Pal, too. And it would be great to take more research trips!
ReplyDeleteI think the Flip Pal will be on a lot of genealogists lists. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteThis Flip Pal thing is viral, but I want one too! I liked your list, but am touched by the wish for a trip to The Netherlands. I absolutely am entranced with stained glass, anything, but esp. in a church. I can understand your strong desire to go there. And, I have a lot of Dutch ancestors (from there of course). We need to share names.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing the Flip Pal everywhere. Yes, we will have to share our Dutch names. Who knows we may find a connection yet.
