GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 8 January 2016

When this post from Copper Leaf Genealogy  turned up in my RSS feed I realised that I hadn't challenged my mates to participate in an Accentuate the Positive Geneameme reflecting on 2015. So I set the challenge here. Thanks to Alex, Linda, Sherie and Victoria who have responded, my response is also in the works. I'd love to hear about your 2015 successes too.

As well as reading about the geneatriumphs of those ladies I came across some novel, engaging and informative blog posts this past week. I hope you enjoy some in this week's selection.
