Awards!

What a surprise to learn that Jana of Jana's Genealogy and Family History Blog awarded My Ancestors and Me the Liebster Blog Award.  I feel so honored!  Thank you.

Liebster is a German word that means friend, dearest, adored, beloved, chosen one.  The Liebster Award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

The rules vary depending on who gives the award.  Since Jana did the honors, I'll follow her rules.
  1. Thank the one who nominated you by linking back.
  2. Nominate five blogs with less than 200 followers.
  3. Let the nominees know by leaving a comment at their sites.
  4. Add the award image to your site.
Congratulations to my nominees for Liebster Blog Award!

                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Way back last August (how could it be so long ago!?) Teresa Wilson Rogers of Forgotten Faces and Long Ago Places gave my little blog the Illuminating Blogger Award.  I'm very grateful to her for the honor.  Thank you, Teresa.  I wasn't able to publicly acknowledge and pass on the award when she gave it but I find that now is a good time.

Part of accepting the award is to nominate five other blogs and to mention one random thing about myself.  Hmmmm.  I'm a night owl and have trouble letting go of the day.  I usually think I can do at least one more thing before I go to bed,  then I do two or three and an hour or two has passed.

Congratulations to these blogs on receiving the Illuminating Blogger Award!  I always learn something when I read their posts.
