Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Our theme this week from
Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing is to:
A) Linda Stufflebean sent in an update to her "December Meme" from last year. Copy them to your own post and write about them.
Here are the 20 Questions and my answers:
1.
What is one genea-accomplishment in 2023 of which you are proud? I finished and turned in my renewal
portfolio to the Board of the Certification of Genealogists.
2.
Which (realistic) genea-gift would you most appreciate this year?
3.
What item on your not-so-realistic wish list for Santa would you most
appreciate this year. The
names and resident locations of the parents of Samuel Johnston and Rebecca McCormack who were somewhere in South Carolina.
4. Have
you written any genea-books (with mostly text) to give as holiday gifts? Not this year. Maybe next year.
5.
Have you created any photo family history books to give as holiday gifts? Not this year. Maybe the books next year
will be photo books.
6.
What is your favorite holiday main course food? Dungeness crab.
7. What
is your favorite holiday dessert? Pecan pie.
8.
Which food do you eat too much during the holidays? Used to eat too many cookies. I’ve cut back
on sugar.
9.
Share a favorite holiday memory. Seeing carols while decorating the tree with family.
10. Have you continued any ethnic food or cultural activities that have been passed down through the family? Both Swedish Potato Sausage and Potato Soup are my favorite treats for Christmas Eve with my husband’s family.
11.
Do you prefer warm sunshine or snow on Christmas Day? Warm sunshine. Hey, I live in California. It’s
all we know.
12.
Did you break through any brick walls in 2023? No.
13.
Do you have a 2023 genea-goal that could have been accomplished, but over which
you’ve procrastinated or from which you’ve been distracted? Yeah, writing more family stories.
14.
Have you ever gone holiday caroling? Yes, with Girl Scout troops.
15.
Do you have any favorite holiday decorations? I love my musical instrument ornaments plus the
Snoopy ones.
16.
Who is the singer you most enjoy listening to during the holiday season? Burl Ives
17.
Have there been any Christmas Day calamities that you remember? Christmas Eve when my mother was in the
hospital after having my youngest sister, my little brother caught a Christmas
decoration on fire and there was a bit of panic by my grandmother who was
watching us. It all turned out okay.
18.
If Santa invited you to hitch a ride in his sleigh, where would you like him to
drop you off? I’m afraid
of heights, so I’ll just stay home.
19.
If you had to choose right this minute – which ancestor would you most like to
meet? Choose an ancestor about whom you’ve researched in 2023. I would love to ask my great-uncle about his
service in France during WWI. He is missing from the muster rolls for a few
months and I wonder where he was.
20.
Share one of your 2024 genealogy goals. I am going to begin writing my family’s
stories. I hope to put together a couple of books. Also write up the research I
did for my husband’s friend, Rod.
I love pecan pie also, but I guess I don't associate it with the holidays. But what happened to question #2?
ReplyDeleteI knew there was one I had skipped to come back to later. Oh, well, I cannot think of a realistic gift.
