This post should be able to write itself! I have a wish list of genealogy ideas that I add to all the time. I hope Santa is reading this.
My top three gift ideas are:
1. Flip Pal Mobile Scanner-I saw a video on this and think it would be great to take to the family reunion.
2. NEHGS Membership Renewal-I am already a member, but feel guilty spending the money on this. Of course, each time they send me their book and gift catalog I will have a never ending list of wants.
3. Archival Quality Boxes-I need these to store my photos, documents and heirlooms I am acquiring.
And Dear Genealogical Genie, I would give up my wish list for this one wish. I would love to surprise my husband with a trip to The Netherlands. I have traced his ancestry to the Netherlands in 1470. There is a family church with a Luijendijk stained glass window in it, in Vierpolders, Netherlands. I have pictures but would love to see it with my hubby. I enjoyed researching his family as much as I have mine.

An outstanding list, and a lot like mine. I have a wand scanner, but now I want the Flip Pal, too. And it would be great to take more research trips!

I think the Flip Pal will be on a lot of genealogists lists. Thanks for commenting.

This Flip Pal thing is viral, but I want one too! I liked your list, but am touched by the wish for a trip to The Netherlands. I absolutely am entranced with stained glass, anything, but esp. in a church. I can understand your strong desire to go there. And, I have a lot of Dutch ancestors (from there of course). We need to share names.

I keep seeing the Flip Pal everywhere. Yes, we will have to share our Dutch names. Who knows we may find a connection yet.
