One Lovely Blog Award

Thanks to Jennifer at Jennifer's Genealogy Blog for nominating me for the Lovely Blog Award. Jennifer is currently running a series on the De Luca family that is providing interesting reading.

I now need to nominate other blogs for this award but a lot of the blogs I read have already received it!!

I've decided to nominate some blogs that I enjoy reading or have recently discovered

Alex at Winging It - this blog is about a one place study of Wing which is about 30 minutes away from where I live so I often recognise places mentioned. It also highlights the many different sources that can provide information.

John at The Wandering Genealogist - a new blog to me but is proving interesting for 2 reasons - we both use the same Family Historian software and again the places mentioned are familiar to me as my husband's family come from that area.

Margaret at the Cork Genealogist - I've picked up a few tips on genealogy and Irish research from Margaret's blog even though my research isn't focused on this part of Ireland.

I read many more blogs and I'm always on the look out for new ones - either because they're interesting or because they have some sort of connection to me or my family. If you have any suggestions let me know.

The Kreativ Blogger Award

Thank you so much to Jennifer for sending me the Kreativ Blogger Award. It's lovely to connect with such friendly people and has definitely motivated me to add more to my blog.

So, the rules are:
  1. Copy the award to your site.
  2. Link to the person from whom you received the award.
  3. Nominate 7 other bloggers.
  4. Link to those sites on your blog.
  5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominate.

Ok, well as I'm new to the world of blogs I'm sure most of the blogs I nominate will have already received this award but here goes. (I'm not sure I'll manage 7 though....)

Elyse's Genealogy Blog - this was the first blog I found and I realised how interesting geneablogging could be

DearMyrtle - she has given me some great tips on the organisation of my research

Jennifer's Genealogy Blog - a fellow accountant interested in family history which means we have so much in common already

Facebook® Bootcamp for Genea-Bloggers - I've learnt so much just from one evening of reading the posts

Small-leaved Shamrock - an irish family history blog which I'm sure will have lots of tips for me

Right, off to leave a comment on those blogs so that I've completed my first set of blogging tasks!
