I received this news this morning from Family Tree Magazine:

==============================================

I'm happy to share the news that your Genea-Musings blog has been named to Family Tree Magazine's list of 101 Best Websites for Genealogy in the September 2018 issue.

I am very pleased that Genea-Musings was included in the list of  101 Best Websites for Genealogy  in the "Online Tools and Tips" category.  I saw the list in the September 2018 issue  that I received earlier this week. The articles was written by David A. Fryxell.

The categories for 2018 are (from the magazine article - they are not listed on the web page):

*  Dot-Com Databases 
*  Data Rich Dot-Orgs
*  Uncle Sam's Sites
*  Volunteer Venues and Wikis
*  Virtual Library Cards
*  State and Regional Sites
*  Archives and Libraries Abroad
*  Other Foreign Finds
*  Online Tools and Tips
*  Real News Online
*  Maps and History Tools
*  Social and Sharing Sites
*  History Lessons
*  Expert Advice

The blurb for Genea-Musings says:

"http://www.geneamusings.com/

Keep up with the latest additions to your favorite genealogy websites at Randy Seaver’s frequently updated blog, where he also shares his own research lessons."

I noted that Genea-Musings was the only genealogy blog listed, although several websites on the list also have a blog component (e.g., Cyndislist, Lisa Louise Cooke, etc.).

My thanks to Family Tree Magazine for this honor - I really appreciate it.  This is, I think, the third year in a row that Genea-Musings has received this honor.

There are many excellent websites on this list - both free and subscription - have you looked at all of them?  This served as an excellent reminder to me that there is more to online genealogy and family history than the commercial sites and FamilySearch.

Disclosure:  I am a Family Tree Magazine subscriber and have been for many years.  I have received no material considerations, other than greetings, photographs and smiles at conferences, from Family Tree Magazine.
