I "Heart Your Blog" Award

Much thanks must go out to Becky at Kinexxions for taking the time to read my blog and then nominate me for the I "Heart Your Blog" award! I started my blog all because I enrolled in a Library Web 2.0 class at my job in January, 2008. Creating a blog was a requirement of the class and because I am "addicted" to genealogy, that's what my blog is all about. So, I am still relatively new to blogging and to be nominated for this award is truly an honor. I too have many Hoosier relatives, some lived in Claypool, Kosciusko County, Indiana, so thank you Becky!

I was so happy to see that so many of the blogs that I follow have been nominated for this award. However, this forced me to go where I haven't been too often....visiting more genealogy blogs...some I have visited a number or times and some are new to me.

In the very near future, I will be nominating seven more blogs (per the rules!) and will link them to my blog.
