Here is my prayer for your life:

Our kind and loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jessica into our family to brighten our way. What a blessing she is! I pray that you will watch over her and guide her in the way she should go. May she keep you first in her life, using the unique talents you gave her to win others to Jesus and to encourage many along the way. I pray that she will find happiness in serving the Lord and that the lives of many will be changed because Jessica has passed their way. In Jesus' name, amen.

Christmas Memories

Last Christmas, my maternal grandparents' Sunday School teacher asked them to submit favorite Christmas memories from their childhood. My grandparents were the only ones who submitted anything and she shared their stories with the larger church body and then presented my grandparents with something tangible from their memories. They know that I'm a family history nut and love anything vintage or Christmas-related, so they made a copy of their memories for me and my grandma even gave me the 'gift' that she'd been presented with. I thought I'd post their memories here.

Grandparents Day seems like the kind of holiday that should be celebrated on a blog about family history. So, in honor of the day, here are some pictures of my grandparents.

Banging my head on brick walls

Every family historian inevitably hits a brick wall at some point in their research. Often early. The paper trail eventually runs out one way or another. We know the line has to end somewhere, but we're still pretty pissed when it does. Like they couldn't take the time to paint their lineage on the cave they were living in?? C'mon, cave people. Actually, I'm pretty happy (or mostly happy) if I can get one ancestor across the ocean. But early brick walls just suck.
