Christmas Snag Tags 2013

I have just completely skipped Thanksgiving and have gone straight into Christmas. Yes... I know... but I just feel the Christmas season much earlier this year for some reason.

I have not posted a thing for 5 months so my sincerely apologies. My mojo took a vacation I guess.

Here are some freebie snag tags for now and a new tutorial in the works for later.

I'm Back with Sweet Petunias

I have a new computer now, finally have my programs reinstalled although not all the filters.

Here are some tags I made from a photo of the Watercolor Purple Petunias on my patio. I will be writing a tutorial on how I made these.

If you like this image, I have a four image photo pack for $1.50 at Sherry's Camera and these are "commercial use encouraged". If you are a scrap kit designer, you can incorporate the images into your designs.

Give Genealogy for Christmas

There are a lot of great Christmas gifts to pick from this year. Giving the gift of genealogy is truly a gift that keeps on giving. I have been a family genealogist since 1982 and it was never as easy as it is today. With the Internet and the great number of websites available, researching and documenting your family's history is fun and productive.

I love to find Civil War pay records, military list and obituaries. (You'd be surprised at what you can glean from an obit.)

Look at some of the records you can search at Fold3 (formerly footnote):

Revolutionary War Pensions

Brady Civil War Photos Free

WWII US Air Force Photos Free

Civil War and Later Veterans Pension Index

War of 1812 Pension Files FreeUpdated

WWII "Old Man's Draft" Registration Cards

Missing Air Crew Reports, WWII

Revolutionary War Service Records

Civil War "Widows' Pensions" Updated

Right now there is have a special running:

Search Civil Military - Fold3

Another great site I have been a member of for many years is Ancestry.com and I just love it. You can find WWI and WWII Draft applications where your relative filled it out in his own handwriting. They tell where they were born and give their weight, height, hair and eye color. They also state whether they were married and where they were working and living at the time.

Of course there is the connecting with people through their family trees. You can also document your ancestor with census, marriage, birth and death records!

If you have a family member or know someone who wants to research their family history but are unsure how to start, give them Family Tree Maker. This is a computer program where they just follow the prompts, answer the questions and they can generate their family tree easy as pie!

Right now Ancestry.com has a LIMITED time offer to save 25% but hurry, the sale ends Dec 13th.

And for those with a Mac

Three Facebook Covers

I was fooling around tonight with the timeline covers and so I made a few. I hope you like them. These are my photos so you can add your name to the Profile picture.

If you decide to add a phrase to the Timeline Cover, you do NOT have permission to put anything negative (racist, derogatory, inflammatory or sexual) as my copyright are on these and whatever you put will reflect back to me.
