I wrote the three above after attending a military course
at GRIP. I really would like to finish the research and write it up. I’m also
thinking of making it into a presentation, too.
I would like to write more posts that help others with genealogy research and methodology. I will try to do more of that this year.
Congratulations on a very successful year. I'm looking forward to 2022 posts and more of your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great year you had. I think you should write a presentation on the military research you did. Can’t wait to see what you accomplish this year.
