"100 Years in America" named one of Family Tree Magazine's Top 40!

100 Years in America is honored to have just been named one of Family Tree Magazine's Top 40 Best Genealogy Blogs of 2012. This year's top blogs, listed in the July/August 2012 issue, are a worldwide feast of international family history. In her article Around the World in 40 Blogs, Sunny Morton has done a nice job covering the globe from the Americas to Europe to Asia and beyond by providing readers a list of well-done genealogy blogs with a geographic focus.

Among the twenty blogs in the section on Europe, my blog is listed under the subtitle Croatia and Hungary. The article states:

"100 Years in America is about Croatian and Hungarian families, records, languages and online resources. You'll find expert advice and personal insights on this beautiful site by a long-time blogger."

It is an honor to be included on this list of genealogy blogs with an international focus. Many of them are new to me - and I look forward to taking a look at these. This list also includes my fellow Hungarian genealogy researcher and his blog:

• Nick Gombash's Genealogy Blog (Hungary)

And some of my other favorites, such as:

• 'On a Flesh and Bone Foundation': An Irish History by Jennifer Geraghty-Gorman (Ireland) 
• Olive Tree Genealogy Blog by Lorine McGinnis Schulze (Canada)
• We Are Cousins by Moises Garza (South Texas and northeastern Mexico) 
• Trace Your Dutch Roots by Henk van Kampen (The Netherlands)
• Al's Polish-American Genealogy Research by Al Wierzba (Poland)
• Swedish Thoughts by Yvonne Henriksson (Sweden)

Congratulations to all of the wonderful blogs mentioned in this year's Family Tree Magazine Top 40 list! It is a joy to see interest in genealogy reaching into so many corners of the world. I hope that this list will whet your appetite for many of the other wonderful geographically-focused blogs out there in the world of genealogy. Happy reading!
