By popular request the blog will host the 2013 Rockstar Genealogist poll.
Rockstar genealogists are those who give "must attend" presentations at family history conferences or as webinars. Who, when you see a new family history article or publication by that person, makes it a must buy. Who is it that you hang on their every word on a blog, podcast or newsgroup, or follow avidly on Facebook or Twitter?
Based on last year's voting, and other input, the following is a list of those already nominated, in alphabetical order. No doubt some are missed. If you have additional suggestions please send a nomination in a comment by 6 September.

I want to add Ruth Burkholder to the list.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see so many Canadians named, but there ought to be more Brits.
No more capchas until after the cataract operation.
How about Paul Milner - A Brit who is a British Isles specialist living in the US though he has spoken in the USA, Australia and England this year.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to see myself and a few other Aussies on this list. Don't know who nominated me - I really appreciate the gesture. THANK YOU
ReplyDeletePlease add your name John D. Reid, there are many of us who hang on your every word with your daily blog!
ReplyDeleteSo grateful to see so many names who are there helping genealogists with their research. Thank our lucky stars!
I appreciate being nominated, thank you! In honor of my ancestors, the correct spelling of my surname is BETIT. It's from Quebec actually. Thanks John! - Kyle J. Betit, Salt Lake City, Utah
ReplyDeleteVery excited to see my name on this list and thanks Jill for alerting me to it. Great to see other Aussies too and only wish I could hear some of the overseas speakers!
ReplyDeleteA great list... I'd like to nominate Pauleen Cass
