Earlier today I received an email from John D Reid which stated "Congratulations. Your genealogist colleagues have voted you #1, gold award, superstar genealogist for Australia/NZ for 2015" and a request that I keep the news embargoed until the Official Announcement went live.
Keeping mum has been difficult as I was rather excited to read the news in John's email. Having managed to contain my excitement for several hours I am now able to share the link to John's Golden Announcement.
Congratulations to all those who received awards and to all those who were nominated for this award, to be included on this list is a golden achievement. That my name came out on top in Australia/New Zealand is a wonder to me. I am so proud to see my name on the Golden List with CeCe Moore, Dave Obee, Kirsty Gray and Claire Santry.
I thank all those Genimates who voted for me in this competition and John D Reid for organising this activity which does much to promote genealogy and genealogists internationally. I recognise the multitude of volunteers who work in genealand and provide resources and services that help people like me reach Gold Status.
As I proudly accept this award I will remember all those Golden Genies on whose shoulders I stand.

Congratulations Jill! This is fantastic!
Congratulations! You deserve this accolade. One day I hope to be in the list and get at least one vote (myself).
Congrats - well deserved to such a generous and giving lady

Congratulations! Your posts usually arrive in my box in the late afternoon, they are something I can always count on. I've enjoyed them, and am delighted you received this recognition.
Congratulations Jill! Well done!
Very well deserved congratulations...and your modesty is becoming when we all know how you show us the way.
I'm a bit late to the party but please accept my hearty congratulations on this very well deserved award. I'm so pleased :)
Thanks all for your kind comments. It's a bonus to be rewarded for having fun.
