Calling all
Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
time for some
more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is our assignment from Randy
Seaver of Genea-Musing:
1) Does anyone recall
the Academy of Genealogy and Family History (AGFH) awards from back in the
2008-2012 time frame, hosted by Jasia on Creative gene? Genea-bloggers
would nominate blog entries in different categories, and Jasia would collect
all of them with links to each blogger's post. The bloggers selected
their own posts for nominations.
2) This week, let us
nominate the "best" posts from 2020 that we wrote in these
categories:
*
Best Picture (a photograph)
*
Best Screenplay (a story)
*
Best Documentary (a series)
*
Best Biography
*
Best Comedy
3) Put it in your own blog
post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post. Please leave a
link in a comment to this post.
Here’s Mine:
The best photographs posted last year were birds I
photographed at my feeder (since I couldn’t go on bird watching trips any
longer due to Covid.

The best story was about the building of a bridge over the Vesle River in France. My great-uncle was an engineer with the 8th Engineers. It was pretty scary stuff, building a bridge with bullets flying overhead.

her posing in different outfits was a hit and received lots of comments.

You had some great posts last year! I particularly like the series about your father-in-law.
ReplyDeleteAnd aha!, someone else who doesn't like the new interface!
I write my posts in Word, so I can have footnotes. I copy and paste into Blogger, and some of the paragraphs have different formatting. I don't know how to fix it. I don't like when the layout doesn't look right or fonts are different. I've had to start over sometimes. If only I knew HTML and could go in and fix whatever is the problem.
