That concludes this edition of the Carnival of Genealogy. Sigh. The romance still lingers in the air, don't you think? I'm a romantic at heart so this edition really appealed to me. How 'bout you? Well, if this didn't do it for you perhaps the topic for our next edition will.
Call for Submissions! The topic for the next edition of the COG will be: An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving. Share with us a favorite memory of the Thanksgiving holiday. Or, if you'd prefer, imagine how you think the Thanksgiving holiday was celebrated by one of your ancestors and share that with us. If your family has no ties to America, perhaps you'd like to imagine how you would celebrate Thanksgiving if you were here visiting during the holiday. We're open to all family Thanksgiving stories, real or imagined. Come on, get creative! You can have some real fun with this topic! The 112th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy will be all about giving thanks. The deadline for submissions is December 1st.
