Kreativ Blogger – 2nd Go ‘Round!

Earlier this year, this award went around the genea-blogger (and “normal” blogger) community.   I was fortunate to receive this award from Sheri of Grandma’s Stitches.  Just recently I was given this award again – from Karen at Twigs to Roots.

Slow Posting

Those Ancestors Left By Aliens
