That's it for this edition of the Carnival of Genealogy. I hope you enjoyed reading the wish lists for Genea Santa. Posting them to the internet is undoubtedly the quickest way to send them to San Diego. What!?! You didn't know that's where Genea Santa lives? Yes, it's true. He's no North Pole dweller. No. Our Genea Santa is a wise guy who knows his palm trees from his evergreens and prefers white sand to white snow! LOL! Surf on Santa Dude!
