Ok, I've decided to join the crowd and give awards to genealogy web sites. I have seen some very impressive ones out there and some not so impressive. I am not by far an expert on websites. But I do know that they are a reflection of who we are and our own tastes and styles

When we receive recognition for our work, we feel better about ourself. Everyone deserves recognition for the work they put into their site.

First a recognition award will be given, then one outstanding site selected from those recognized, for the month. I will be surfing the net for websites, recognizing no more than 20 sites each month. Each site will be posted, then the best site selected for the month. You will help select the site for the month. Visit each site listed, then send in your vote. If no votes, then I'll make the selection - but I really would like your input.

Can you submit your site for recognization? Sure. Once 20 are selected, then it is done for the month. The winner will be selected on the 1st of each month.

RULES
1. Must be a personal website only - USGenWeb sites, collective sites, profit sites are excluded
2. Maneuverability around the site
