Voting Opens in Family Tree Magazine’s 40 Best Genealogy Blogs–We’re on the Ballot!
Family Tree Magazine’s “40 Best Genealogy Blogs” feature opened its polls today at the Genealogy Insider blog. About 130 blogs are nominated in 10 categories:
- All-around
- Personal/Family
- Local/Regional
- Cemetery
- Photos/Heirlooms
- Heritage
- News/Resources
- \How-to
- Genealogy Companies
- Genetic Genealogy
GeneaBlogie was nominated in the All-Around category. Many Thanks to all those who helped make this happen!
The ballot includes most of my very favorite writers. There are some very obvious choices in some categories, but all are top quality. I won’t be expressing any preferences (except GeneaBlogie, Shades of the Departed, and the California Genealogical Society blog–they’re all in different categories) until the next round.
Voting is open at FamilyTreeMagazine.com, from today through November 5. You are allowed to vote for more than one blog in each category. You may vote more than once. As they say in Chicago: Vote early and often! The top 80 blogs will go through a final round and the top 40 will be announced in the May 2010 issue of Family Tree Magazine.

Congrats on the nominations, Craig! You so deserve it!
You have my vote Craig!
Congratulations my friend. Nobody does it better. Makes me feel sad for the rest. Nobody does half as good as you. Baby, Baby, Baby, you’re the Best!
And while Shades was nominated under my name, you unquestionably share the nomination.
