Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays to everybody – things are going to be quiet over the next week – I’ve got a new project I’m working on with a couple of people, and hopefully within a few weeks it will be ready to launch. It’s not a genealogy application (or any kind of application for that matter), but a site that will contribute to genealogy research, and will include Mac users as well (that’s the part I handle). It’s going to be unique, but I can’t say anything else at this time. I also have three reviews of genealogy applications that have been submitted by MG readers that I’m going to format and place online.

If you want to see something interesting (or want to give the kids something interesting to look at), somebody has put together a genealogy/family tree site about Disney cartoon characters. Thanks to RandomGenealogy.com
