Thanks, Lynne for these two latest emails. Both are very useful right now.
I appreciate your efforts to keep us all rolling on smoothly at a busy time.
Always,

Still shopping for holiday gifts? Maybe a book would be the right present for your
favourite family historian.
Over on LancsGen, "Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research"
written by Pauline M. Litton has been recommended. Looks like the book is out of print,
but there's a version on CD that's still available and, if you prefer printed
format, a used copy or two might be available.
I've just viewed a presentation by Constance Knox at Genealogy TV of "Five
Genealogy Books Everyone Should Have" on YouTube. It can be watched at
<
https://tinyurl.com/r5g8tje> where Connie briefly describes the value of the five
books, which are
Evidence Explained, by Elizabeth Shown Mills
The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy, by Blaine Bettinger
Genealogy Standards, by The Board for Certification of Genealogists
Professional Genealogy, editor Elizabeth Shown Mills
Mastering Genealogical Proof, by Thomas W. Jones
Family Photo Detective, by Maureen Taylor
These all sound very useful, but some of these books are rather expensive.
By the way, you can read more about Genealogy TV at <
https://genealogytv.org/> or
subscribe to the YouTube broadcasts (free) at <
https://tinyurl.com/r5g8tje> or on
any other of Genealogy TV's YouTube presentations.
Do you have any recommendations for Christmas presents for family historians? Please
share!
Lynne
