up in researching my collateral line relatives lately my blogging has
been suffering. Anyway, the theme for the 99th CoG was religious rites
and there's a bunch of interesting responses to it.
The next edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is its 100th and Jasia
has a special request:
"Call for Submissions! As I mentioned in a previous post, I am asking
all who have participated in past editions of the COG to participate in the
100th edition. It's a FAMILY REUNION! There will not be the usual
cap of 30 submissions for this edition. Instead there will be a floor of 100!
I will not attempt to write comments nor choose a featured author this
time around. I'm asking all of you to help me out here and make my
dream come true. I would like to have 100 or more submissions from
my friends, my COG family members, for this 100th edition. It's a tall
order, yes. It hasn't been done before and therein lies the challenge.
Can it be done? Only your time and efforts will determine that. I know
there are many more than 100 authors who have participated in the
previous 99 editions of the COG. I need at least 100 of you to step
up and write a blog post to submit to the COG to make my day,
my week, my month, and my blogging career. I don't know how
many past participants are reading this edition so I'm hoping you'll
help me get the word out. Please share this info on FaceBook, Twitter,
GeneaBloggers, Second Life, your own blogs, mainstream media, the
4 major TV networks, genealogy conferences, and wherever past
COG participants may gather!
And the topic for the 100th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is...
"There's one in every family!" Bring your stories of colorful
characters, unique heirlooms, mouth-watering recipes, most dearly
beloved pets, whatever! Interpret as you like. Every family has
"special" individuals, you know, the ones with a green thumb, the
black sheep, the lone wolf, the blue-ribbon cook, the story-teller,
the geek! I know you have treasured recipes and amazing heirlooms
you've yet to share! Tell us about them and become a part of history
in the 100th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy! The deadline for
submissions is December 1st.
Submit your blog article to the 100th edition of the Carnival
of Genealogy using our carnival submission form. Please use
a descriptive phrase in the title of any articles you plan to submit
and/or write a brief description/introduction to your articles in
the "comment" box of the blog carnival submission form. This
will give readers an idea of what you've written about and
hopefully interest them in clicking on your link. Past posts and
future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page."
Alright, I'm in! Let's hit that 100!
