This week's newsletter will explore genealogy research trips. Have you been on one recently, or will you take one soon? Remember to debrief appropriately upon your return. Here's a guide on how to do it effectively.

Have you heard of the "nine old men"? We're continuing the series by highlighting Eric Larson, a former Disney animator who became a Disney Legend. Interestingly enough, Eric didn't have plans to work at Disney initially but ended up there by chance. He even considered quitting at one point but was convinced to stay and ended up becoming the company's longest-serving employee at the time of his retirement. Eric's story is fascinating, from being a reluctant employee to becoming a beloved Disney treasure.

Remember to take advantage of this week's free genealogy lookups. They're located here.

I'm pleased to announce the winners of our free postcard giveaway. Please take a moment to review the list to see if your name is included. I'll contact each winner individually to arrange the delivery of their postcards.
