A very big THANK YOU to all who took the time to vote in the Rockstar Genealogists competition... whether or not I had your vote. If we all take time to vote, we can keep this great contest alive... remembering that the majority involved are volunteers, not professionals... you can see the Australian & New Zealand results here...

Rockstar Genealogists 2016: Australia/New Zealand

The best way to thank John D. Reid for instigating this competition is to follow his blog.
