Puckerbrush Blog Award for Excellence
Terry Thornton at Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi created the Puckerbrush Award to honor Janice Brown of Cow Hampshire – a delightful writer and a fascinating blog we all miss terribly. He challenged us all to identify ten blogs that influenced our writing.

We are blessed with a community of great writers. Here are a few of the many who have influenced me.
- footnoteMaven at Shades of the Departed and footnoteMaven.
- Craig Manson at Geneablogie.
- Terry Thornton at Hill Country.
- Elizabeth Kerri Mahon at Scandalous Women.
- Miriam Midkiff at AnceStories: The Story of My Ancestors.
- Gina Trapani founder of Lifehacker – now at Smarterware.
- George Geder at George Geder.
- Becky Wiseman at kinexxions.
- L. H. Crawley at The Virtual Dime Museum
A special thank you to those who have included Family Matters in their list. I am honored to be a part of this wonderful community.
