I've Been Recognized

To all my loyal readers and to all those who voted for Georgia Black Crackers,

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Georgia Black Crackers has been recognized as one of Family Tree Magazine 2011 40 Best Genealogy Blogs.

I now know how Grammy award winners feel, because I have a range of emotions. I'm thrilled, ecstatic, honored, speechless, and humbled by the recognition. I wonder if the other 39 blogs that were recognized feel the same gamut of emotions?

Once again, thank you for the recognition and be sure to check out the other blogs that were recognized.

Vote for Me, Vote for Me

Well, I’m speechless. I just discovered that my blog, Georgia Black Crackers, was nominated for the Family Tree Magazine 2011 40 Best Genealogy Blogs in the Heritage Groups category.

Thank you to my nominator(s). I’m honored to be recognized and considered alongside others whose writing and research I’ve admired.

You can find out more about this recognition by reading the announcement on Family Tree Magazine’s blog, Genealogy Insider. Then go to the ballot to vote for your favorites. Voting is open through December 20, 2010, and you can vote as many times as you would like.

If you would like to check out all the blogs before voting, DearMYRTLE of DearMYRTLE's Genealogy Blog was kind enough to prepare a Sample Ballot with links to all the nominees’ blogs.

Now, here’s where I’m supposed to go into politician mode, but since I’m definitely not a politician, there won’t be any stump speeches promising things I can’t deliver on. Sorry folks. I hope you’re not disappointed.

Now start voting!

Recognitions and Awards

This past week has been awesome, not in terms of finding my Ancestors but in terms of being recognized by my fellow geneabloggers.

First, Friday, a week ago, I was recognized by Genlighten in his Follow Friday Post. Once again, thank you for recognizing both of my blogs.

Yesterday and today, I received the Ancestor Approved award from Dionne of Finding Josephine. and Texicanwife of Mountain Genealogists.Thank you so much.

The recipient of the Ancestor Approved award lists ten things learned about their ancestors that have surprised, humbled, or enlightened. The recipient then passes the award to ten other bloggers that are doing their Ancestors proud.

Surprises

My recent discovery - that my maternal grandmother’s first cousin, Nuna Pierce Jackson, was shot and that her death was ruled a homicide

Discovering that my grand Uncle, Felton Pierce, never went overseas during WWI and that while he received a promotion during his time in the Army, he was only in the army for 6 months during WWI and was in one of the reserve units

Humbled By

My maternal Great Grandfather, Cornelius Pierce, living his American Dream in the midst of early Jim Crow Georgia. At the time of his death in 1910, he was in the process of buying, via mortgage, his own 65 acre farm.

My paternal Great Grandfather Peter Everett living the American Dream by progressing from farmer, to working in a saw mill, to entrepreneur by being a merchant

The births of the Hosch Ancestors recorded in the bible of their slave owner, Henry Hosch

The struggles of my Ancestors and their ability to survive the middle passage, chattel slavery, Jim Crow, deaths of one and sometimes both parents, flu epidemics, etc.

Thrilled

That I have marriage certificates for both sets of grandparents and 2 sets of my great grandparents

To have a picture of my maternal Great Grandfather’s, Cornelius Pierce tombstone as well as that of my grandmother’s first cousin, Mood Pierce

That I connected with second cousin once removed I. McFarland and her mom, descendents of my grand aunt, Mattie Henyard Martin, my grandmother’s half sister.

To connect with many of my Grand Uncle’s, Will Hosch, descendants via Facebook

In case you didn’t notice, I included some of my paternal ancestors in my ten things.
