Celebrating Family History Month!

Posted September 30, 2011 by George | 78 Comments

Family History month begins on Sunday in the US, and to celebrate we are running a month-long giveaway with daily prizes for genealogists and family history enthusiasts.  Signing up is easy and there are lots of prizes to go around.

For each day of October we’ll be giving away a one-month Geni Plus account to the lucky winners, and on the last day of the month (Halloween) we will be awarding a grand prize…for now, let’s just call it a special “surprise”!

Details

Each Tuesday in October we will post a question on the Geni Blog, Geni’s Facebook page, and Geni’s Twitter account.  Users can enter the giveaway once per week by answering the question on this blog post, and we will be announcing the previous week’s winners on each Monday of October (with the exception of next Monday).

On Halloween, the last day of the month, we will post a final question; answering that question will be your entry to our grand prize for Family History Month.

Please Like us and Follow us to make sure you are notified when new questions are posted!
