Because this edition of the COG was promoted via the Genea-bloggers group on Facebook, there was a deluge of articles submitted. I can't imagine anyone reading through all 66 articles in one sitting so I've put them in groups of 10 with an identifying letter/number to more easily reference where you left off when you come back to reading.
The cold winds of January are blowing and there's nothing like a nice hot mug of peppermint tea to warm you up. So pour yourself some tea, grab a handful of the leftover Christmas cookies or fruitcake (pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to "freshen" them), and check out this extra large collection of articles. The carnival is on for 2010!
