Today is our final surname tip because we have reached Christmas Day – Happy Christmas everyone!

My final tip is to be thankful for the friendships and connections we make within the Guild and within the wider Genealogical community.

Whether that is via the many Facebook genealogical groups, The Guild’s own Facebook Group or page (see tip 15), Twitter and participation in #AncestryHour, attendance at Guild seminars or conference, Webinars or regional meetings, or anything else.

Over the years I have made many wonderful friendships within the genealogical community. Some of those since the pre-internet days, others by supporting groups and becoming a  member of a mixture of genealogical societies, of all though, the Guild has been probably the most progressive of all, though that is my personal view. Other’s by writing this blog or my regular feature in Family Tree Magazine or former students from the Pharos courses.

So, I wish you all a lovely Christmas (or however your spending the day) and I will be back a little later this week.
