Olive Tree Genealogy is very excited and honored to be chosen as one of Family Tree Magazine's Top 101 Genealogy sites for 2017.Olive Tree Genealogy was chosen in the category Big Genealogy Websites along with FamilySearch, Heritage Quest, Access Genealogy, Library of Congress, NARA, Rootsweb and US GenWeb. Wow! I'm super thrilled to be in such esteemed company!
This is what Family Tree Magazine said about my site:
Each year, Family Tree Magazine publishes the 101 Best Websites for family history to guide genealogists to the top websites where they can make family history research progress, and to honor the individuals and organizations who create those sites. This year, they focused on websites that provide genealogy information and records free to researchers.

World Subscription (or any other genealogy subscription-based site you like)
to take to Archives, Libraries and on field trips. Read my first review from November 2010 at 
I recently bought one of these and I am loving it! It's a wireless document feeder scanner. I can scan up to 25 items at once and they appear automatically on my computer in one file (or in Evernote or Dropbox or many other choices!) 
for recording Family Stories and Memories. I love my
SmartPen. I use it to record my 89 year old auntie's stories of her
childhood, then I plug it into my laptop and the digital record
transfers. Using the pen while auntie speaks, I make jot notes in the
special notebooks. Then I can play the recorded stories by touching any
word in the notebook. Very cool! 
This tiny powerful speaker allows you to connect via bluetooth to any
other bluetooth enabled device (laptop, computer, iPhone, iPad etc) and
play your favourite podcasts or listen to any audio with much better
quality sound. I have one and I love it.
