| Happy Holidays! |

At this time of year it's all about family, and that makes us excited here at Ancestry.ca! As the world's largest online family history resource, we're committed to making those family connections even stronger. It might be a busy time of year, but it's also the time of year to relax, to regroup, and to spend time with the one's you love. What better way to celebrate with family than to show a loved one your family tree. This year, why not look at the Historic Catalogues of Sears, Roebuck and Company, 1896–1993. Imagine the Christmas presents of your family's past.
