Gifts to Remember

Dear Friend,

The holidays are officially upon us and it's time for a special gift-giving Product Watch. I have looked far and wide to find items that would be appropriate for serious genealogists, casual family historians, and those who love them.

Most of the items were selected just for this week and have never been available before, and since quantities are limited, may never be available again.

I admit not all the selections have a family history connection, but, other than you, neither do many people on your gift list. So have a look, and hopefully you'll find something that will bring a smile to others, and yourself.

Warm wishes,
-Sylvia
