Seven Things about Me:

I'm a wife, mum and nanny and I'm truly thankful to have such wonderful children.

I love my family dearly.

Researching and writing about family history is my passion.

I love making contact with other family members

I'm an avid reader.

Sometimes I really struggle to put my thoughts into words.

Due to the previous I often suffer with "foot in mouth disease" and it's writing equivalent.

Inside History's top genealogy blogs for 2014

This morning I was absolutely thrilled to find that my blog had been listed among the 50 best genealogy blogs in the current issue of  Inside History magazine.

Thank you so much to the Inside history team and congratulations and thanks to Jill whose Geniaus blog, always a must read, was also listed and wins many awards.

I hadn't yet picked up my copy of the magazine but was reading a post by genimate, Pauleen, this morning and she was sending out congratulations.

Needless to say I went into town pdq to get my copy.  Life has been a bit pearshaped lately so it was a wonderful "cheer up" for me.

I'm sending back huge congratulations to Pauleen for her blog Family History across the Seas, having achieved the Inside History Hall of Fame after being on the Top 50 list for three years, along with the blogs from Kintalk, Family Search, and the Public Records Office of Victoria.

There are some wonderful blogs in the list that I hadn't come across before and so I will be adding these to my reading list.

Congratulations to them all and also to my other geneablogger mates Kylie at Kylie's Genes, Sharon at Strong Foundations and Anne at Anne's family history
