Congratulations on making the 101 Best Websites list for 2025. You do a fabulous job with your blog.
Well, the 2025 summary said Genea-Mudsings was on it, but that was a misteak. They copied the lists from 2024 and forgot to take Genea-Musings off. I pointed out in an email that the list did not have a three-line blurb about Genea-Musings, and received a nice email from the editor saying, "Well, we made a misteak. You didn't make the 2025 list." I sent a nice letter back asking why GM wasn't selected, and what are the criteria for that category? I haven't head back after 3 days. They didn't pick any from about 30 blogs IMHO that are better than the ones picked.
