Hey Saskatchewaners (near and far, wherever you happen to be now), it’s time to reveal the SHORT LIST of genealogy contest winners.
***
Thank you, thank you, thank you
But first let me say how grateful I am to everyone for their help with this contest. As you can imagine, doing anything for the first time can be a bit nerve-wracking, and it’s even more intense when it’s done in the public view, like this is. I’d like to take the time to thank:
- The members of the Saskatchewan Genealogy Society, plus the members of the BC Genealogical Society
- The members of my Facebook group Genealogy for Asian Canadians, plus the members of Canadian Genealogy, Canada Genealogy Research Community, and Genealogy a la carte
- My friends, family, and clients – without you, this would be not only literally impossible, but also not a lot of fun
***
To everyone who submitted an entry: I was absolutely blown away by your contest entries. You wrote in with your wickedly funny family stories, or with your family histories, or with copies of your genealogy documents. I really want to do every single last one of your stories. I really, really do. But… I can only choose one. And I’m getting closer…
Today, I would like to reveal the short list of contest entry winners.

The short list
Congratulations to:
- Kelly Bode

- Rhonda Cooper
- Lynn Heartwell Galbraith
In the next two weeks, I’ll be doing preliminary research on these 4 family lines. The winner of the 2018 Past Presence genealogy contest will be announced on Saturday, August 11, 2018.
Thanks, everyone!!
