Well, number 1: Best Websites for Sharing Genealogy in 2016 - Geni.
Here is one of my results from Geni:
"Name" is Craig's sister-in-law's fifth great uncle's wife's nephew's wife's brother's wife's great granddaughter's husband's nephew's wife's second great nephew!
no blood relationship - several marriages - seriously!
Congrats Randy, your great work is being recogized. Thanks for all you do!
Congratulations, Randy, on making the list. Genea-Musings deserves to be on it, as you do a great job.
Randy: Congratulations on the well deserved recognition. I will also add "hard earned" because, having once blogged for about three months--it is a lot of work!
Congratulations! Well deserved and I couldn't agree more.
Congratulations, Randy! But no surprise! It's a natural to be included!
