Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
DearMYRTLE,
Your friend in genealogy.
Wished that the voting list was interactive and 'poof', you create it! Thank you for granting the wish! I already printed the list, but clicking on your links is much, much easier! Thank you for all the hard work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to all the nominated blogs. This makes it much easier! Is it true that one can vote repeatedly from the same computer and the votes all count?
ReplyDeleteMy sources tell me that one can vote repeatedly as noted in Family Tree Magazine's annoucement.
ReplyDeleteWhen I voted, there was no login requirement that precluded voting multiple times.
Interesting...
