Here are just a few quick reads for this last weekend before the festivities of Christmas weekend arrive.
1. The Weekly Genealogist of NEHGS noted a piece about Christmas in the past titled "6 Ways Christmases Past Used to be Terrible." You can read the list here.
2. In a reprise of a blog post he did once before, Pete Muise, of New England Folklore blog, posted a piece this week titled, "Folklore Books (and Weird Fiction) for Christmas." Read about some dark sides to historical Christmases past here.
3. The Legal Genealogist, Judy Russell, posted this week about the coming of the 1950 Federal Census in April and the importance of One Step Webpages by Stephen Morse. Read this informative post here.
4. Marian Wood, of Climbing My Family Tree blog, also posted about the coming of the 1950 Federal Census. Marian addresses what will be available when via OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and the indexing of the census. You can read her post here.
5. And continuing what might be a theme for this week's Saturday Serendipity, Janine Adams, of Organize Your Family History blog, has weighed in on the coming 1950 Federal Census. She summarizes highlights of a recent seminar by Marian Wood and you can read them here. The release date is April 1, 2022 and clearly that is NOT an April Fools' Day gag. ;-)
6. James Tanner, of Genealogy's Star blog, has added a 14th Rule to his list of the former 13 Rules of Genealogy. Find out who his 14th Rule is and learn about it here.
