Family Tree Magazine Honors the Ancestry Insider

40bestblogs_13-rgbI am humbled to learn that Family Tree Magazine has honored the Ancestry Insider blog as a Family Tree Magazine 40 Best Genealogy Blogs in its May/June 2013 issue.

“Let’s tip our collective hats to those bloggers who stick with it and keep sharing their wit, wisdom and family history finds with us,” said contributing editor David A. Fryxell. “We love blogs packed with information, but we also adore those brimming with the blogger’s personality.”

The Ancestry Insider was honored in the “Tech Support” category. Of the Ancestry Insider, Fryxell said

That author remains anonymous, though the blog notes with tongue in cheek, “He has been an insider at both the two big genealogy organizations, FamilySearch and Ancestry.com. He was Time magazine Man of the Year in both 1966 and 2006. And he really is descended from an Indian princess.”

David, David, David. I really am Time magazine Man (Person) of the Year in both 1966 and 2006. And I really am descended from an Indian princess. <sly-smile>

For the complete list, see “Top 40 Genealogy Blogs in 2013.”

Holiday Vacation

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, etc.Dear readers,

The holidays are already upon us and I am taking a holiday from writing.

That’s not to say I won’t accidentally post some especially hot topic. (That reminds me. Don’t forget the RootsTech early registration deadline. I’ve forgotten; is it the end of the month? Register at www.rootstech.org. But I digress…)

Website usage shows a dramatic ever decreasing amount of online genealogy done from Thanksgiving through the end of the year. That’s something to be proud of.

May each of you find joy with your living loved ones is my holiday wish to you.

See you on the other side!
