One of those that struck home, unlabeled family photos:
Bless my ancestors and family members who were so thoughtful as to have labeled the photographs with names, dates, and locations. And curse the lazy so-and-so's who did not! One thing I'd like to wake up on Christmas morning and find is that my boxes (plural!) of unlabeled photos have now been correctly labeled. That would clear up so many mysteries and help me put faces with names in my family database.
The list is good and is the work of George G. Morgan, President of the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors.]]> http://www.randomgenealogy.com/2005/12/24/outlandish-holiday-wish-list/feed/ 0
