119 Days until Christmas!
How about a short trip to Scotland? How many have a Scottish Ancestry? I went to Sorn, Scotland to see if I could track the family of my great, great Grandfather...the little church there - ANCIENT! But no gravestones with my family name. I was a bit saddened, but the folks at that little place encouraged me saying that those people probably moved to another place. Indeed, I found later that my great, great, great grandfather died in a mining accident in Ayr...!
Perhaps in another trip, I can go investigate that place and see the stones where the mother and father of my great, great grandfather were laid. Can only hope. Wouldn't it be lovely to go at Christmas time? Somehow, I find that idea very comforting.

Take care! May God's Grace be with you! GG
