Today, December 7th, is the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Many members of GeneaBloggers either had living relatives or ancestors who where there or they have family stories about hearing news of the attack.

The latest posts from GeneaBloggers member blogs related to Pearl Harbor are listed below.

As I am preparing for the launch of the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories as well as digging my own Christmas ornaments out of the closet for my own tree, I realized it was time to deck out my own personal genealogy blog – Destination: Austin Family – for the holidays! Take a look here.

If you are interested in changing your own blog template for the holiday season (and there are a variety including winter themes, Hanukkah themes, Kwanzaa themes and more!), then take a look at our Resources for Holiday Blog Decorating there at GeneaBloggers.

Included in the resources are two “how to” videos – one on how to back up your Blogger template and another on how to change your template for the holidays.

As many genealogy bloggers are either traveling over the river and through the woods, or getting ready to host family, most of us will take some time and say thanks – either through a blog post, in a prayer, or perhaps aloud to our family and friends.

I would like to thank all the readers of GeneaBloggers for helping to build a vibrant community of genealogy and family history bloggers.  Whether engaged on Facebook, or Twitter or blog posts, it continues to amaze me what a great time it is to be a genealogist and family historian!

Thank you everyone for your support of GeneaBloggers!

Here is a list of Thanksgiving posts from genealogy bloggers:
