Happy Holidays from Genealogy Tip of the Day! Hopefully you’ll get what you want in your stocking, your wreath will staying hanging up on the wall, and you won’t lose your favorite stuffed toy during the festivities. If you don’t have stockings or wreaths because that’s not your tradition, then we hope that your holiday is all that you want it to be in every way possible. And…we still hope you don’t lose your stuffed toy during the festivities.
