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!
