Every year, the closer we get to Christmas, I am asked “What do you want for Christmas?”. No one ever seems to know what to buy for me, and I tend to answer with “I will be happy with whatever you would like to get for me”. I can never seem to think of anything I want or need when asked, so each year it is a repeat of the last. This year I have decided that I am going to help out my fellow genealogists and family historians by posting some great genealogy gift ideas for Christmas.
