The RootsMagic 2012 RootsTech Treasure Hunt<\/strong> is now over. \u00a0We wanted to thank the bloggers who placed clues on their sites: Becky’s Grace and Glory<\/a> (Becky Jamison),\u00a0DearMYRTLE<\/a> (Pat Richley-Erickson),\u00a0Elyse’s Genealogy Blog<\/a> (Elyse Doerflinger),\u00a0Food.Family.Ephemera<\/a> (Gena Philibert Ortega),\u00a0GeneaBloggers<\/a> (Thomas MacEntee),\u00a0Genealogy Gems Podcast<\/a> (Lisa Louise Cooke),\u00a0Genealogy’s Star<\/a> (James Tanner),\u00a0Genea-Musings<\/a> (Randy Seaver),\u00a0Granite Genealogy<\/a> (Sue Maxwell),\u00a0Renee’s Genealogy Blog<\/a> (Renee Zamora),\u00a0Ruth’s Genealogy<\/a> (Ruth Stephens),\u00a0The Accidental Genealogist<\/a> (Lisa Alzo),\u00a0The Chart Chick<\/a> (Janet Hovorka),\u00a0The Genealogy Blog<\/a> (Leland Meitzler), and\u00a0We Tree Genealogy Blog<\/a> (Amy Coffin).<\/p>\n

Many of the bloggers said they had record-setting traffic to their blogs from the thousands of RootsMagic users from around the world who followed the links to find the clue words. \u00a0And we heard from many of you who enjoyed discovering new blogs and podcasts with such a variety of personalities and styles.<\/p>\n

For those of you that are curious, the 15 words formed this important message:<\/p>\n

We held our first drawing at the actual RootsTech conference and gave an iPad 2 to Margie Grider. \u00a0And for those who weren’t able to attend RootsTech in person, we held a second drawing for online entries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the winner of an iPad 2 in our online drawing is Barbara Perkins of Vancouver, Washington! \u00a0We also drew three more winners who will each receive a RootsMagic super pack which includes RootsMagic 5<\/a>, Getting the Most Out of RootsMagic 5<\/a>, Personal Historian 2<\/a>, Family Atlas<\/a>, Family Reunion Organizer<\/a>, and RootsMagic Webinars on CD<\/a> Volumes 1 and 2, all in a RootsMagic tote bag. \u00a0Congratulations go to Henry Boelte of Norfolk, Virginia; Roger Wells of Lexington, Kentucky; and Beryl Godwin of Southend-on-Sea, England!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the thousands of you who participated in our treasure hunt. \u00a0We had a lot of fun putting it together and we hope you had a lot of fun participating. \u00a0Look for more treasure hunts, more connections with the genealogical community, and more magic in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
