Last year Tamura Jones of Modern Software Experience created the GeneaBlog Awards.

This year, footnoteMaven is honored to have won the award for Citation Queen.




This description accompanied the award:

A blog with personality - and footnotes. footnoteMaven writes what she wants to write about, which is mostly genealogy, history and local events but includes anything else that strikes her fancy. Many a blog post has footnotes that mention sources - and that includes the posts about source citations.

Thank you Tamura, for this honor! You have been very very good to the footnoteMaven this year; an early Christmas present. And thank you for all those times you recognized my humor when many didn't (and I'm talking about Twitter as well).

Disclaimer - I really appreciate the Queen status, but I know that if the Citation Goddess, Elizabeth Shown Mills had a blog I'd be out of business.
