Hi all,

Well, our house is officially sold, and we have to be out of here by the
17th of January. However, since we're about to go on a two-week break, I
don't have much time to do anything extra at the moment. On top of that,
I'm trying to start a business in my "spare"(?) time.

However, although I'm actually far too busy to even switch this computer
on, I'd like to welcome a new addition to the online clan : Troy's parents
have come online. Welcome to Thelma and Norm!

The new address is listed at the end of this message, as usual.

On the research front, I received this from Todd :

Interesting stuff... My dad will be most interested, as he was born in Sint
Jacobi Parochie... I'll be sending some mail to Jochum early next year...

Unfortunately, I don't have any more snippets to share at this point, and
it's probably time I did some more packing, anyway.

As alway, if I've missed any vital information or gotten any of your
addresses wrong, let me know.

One more thing - if you get a chance, check out my home page (listed at the
end of this message), I've updated the information on it recently,
including a complete archive of these newsletters.

Anyway, I'm away again... till next time.... A very Merry Christmas and a
happy new year everybody....
