Gold Award 2016 Rockstar Genealogists

Kudos to the genealogists who placed first and won Gold in the 2016 Rockstar Genealogist contest. I'm especially pleased to see my friend Gail Dever take gold in the Canada category. Read Gail's reaction to her win at 2016 Rockstar Genealogist gold award winners… stunning

Olive Tree Genealogy Wins Silver in Rockstar Genealogists 2016

Olive Tree Genealogy is very honoured to be awarded the 2016 Silver Rockstar Genealogist title in the Canada category! Gold medal winners will be announced tonight followed by extended lists by "nationality" of the genealogists.

The criteria for Rockstar Genealogist was given as "Rockstar genealogists are those who give "must attend" presentations at family history conferences or as webinars, who when you see a new family history article or publication by that person, makes it a must buy. 

If you hang on their every word on a blog, podcast or newsgroup, or follow avidly on Facebook or Twitter they are likely Rockstar candidates."

Thank you to all who voted for me, and congratulations to all other winners!

VOTE For Your Fav Rockstar Genealogist

The 2016 edition, the 5th year, of Rockstar Genealogist is open for voting.

Rockstar genealogists are those who give "must attend" presentations at family history conferences or as webinars, who when you see a new family history article or publication by that person, makes it a must buy. 

If you hang on their every word on a blog, podcast or newsgroup, or follow avidly on Facebook or Twitter they are likely Rockstar candidates.

The list of nominees is available at the link above. If you want to vote for ME (and I hope you do!) my name is WAAAAAY down the list under "S" Look for Lorine McGinnis Schulze .

The genealogist you choose to vote for does NOT have to be a speaker! They can be a popular blogger. (Like me? hint hint)

Congratulations to the Rock Star Genealogist Winners

The RockStar Genealogists' Winners have been announced! These are the top in each geographic category. You can also see who won in 2nd and 3rd place for each geographic location. "Geographic location" refers to where the voters live,  not the category for the genealogists.

Last, but not least, you can view the top 10 as voted for by those living in Canada as well as those in Australia/New Zealand

There are mostly genealogy conference speakers on the list (and excellent ones at that!) but I was really pleased to see a few bloggers make the Top 10. 

Congratulations to all!
