    I'd love to vote, but am prevented from doing so! Be warned, you cannot check the criteria after taking the survey as you cannot then go on to vote.

    Please let me vote! I keep getting a message I've taken the survey and can go no further.

    Would the votes be more meaningful if there was a limit (eg, if we could only vote for, say, five people)? Just a thought.

    I have a couple of questions. Can I ask what the criteria is for identifying these folks? Next, why are there not more people of color on the list? Lastly, if one or more of the folks on this list doesn't meet all the criteria, why are they on the list? Personally, I think lists like this are divisive because folks are bound to be left out.

    Nicka: Thank you for your comment.

    The criteria for nomination are spelled out at http://anglo-celtic-connections.blogspot.ca/2015/09/rockstar-genealogist-2015-nominations.html. Nominations were open for almost a week and publicized on social media.

    I'm unaware which of the nominees are of colour. I encourage nominations from all genealogical communities.

    Those voting decide which are the most important criteria for them, that will be a personal decision.

    The nomination process is open, people will only be left out if they aren't nominated, or are not genealogists/family historians.
