Thanks to everyone who entered our drawing
for Family Tree Magazine’s 2011 desktop calendars, both here on the blog and on
Facebook.

Congratulations to the winners! Here are their names and their genealogy to-do list
items:

• Peter Scarborough, proud soon-to-be owner of the 2011
  Family Tree Magazine Genealogy Desktop Calendar: My goal for 2011 is break a brick
  wall in my wife’s family by finding the surname of her great-great-great-grandmother.
  This has eluded us for many years.

• Marisa, proud soon-to-be owner of the 2011
  Civil War Desk Calendar: My goal is to get old photographs scanned! I want to
  keep copies in their corresponding “people” folders and also add them online so far
  away family members can enjoy them.

• Rebecca Morgan Kinnie, proud soon-to-be owner of the 2011
  Grave Humor Desk Calendar: I want to determine if my great-great-grandfather actually
  died while fighting in the Civil War, or if he deserted. This would explain why he
  was named the father of my great-grandfather, who was born eight years after he supposedly
  died!

Peter, Marisa and Rebecca, please e-mail
us your mailing address by next Tuesday, Oct. 19, so we can send your calendar.
