Greetings Fellow Family History Sleuths,
Well, this has been a fun month for me! I submitted the manuscript for my next book and had the pleasure of watching my genealogical handiwork on Top Chef (the chefs went to Ellis Island and had to make a meal based on their heritage). Here's hoping that your month has been equally eventful and that the upcoming one brings even more genealogical adventures and good fortune!
Take care,
