Photo of the Week: Can You Guess the Celebrity?
Last week we set you the challenge of identifying a celebrity from a childhood picture, and this week we're doing it again.
This one, we think, is a little easier than last week's pesky challenge. In fact, when you find out who this is you'll probably cup your face in your hands and weep an ocean of tears at the obviousness of it all, before learning the contents of Celebrity Childhood Photos: 2010 Edition by heart to avoid future embarrassment.
But we don't want that to happen. So here are a few clues:
- this person is a Hollywood star
- this person is best known by his middle name
- the first rule of these clues is that we do not talk about the clues
Do feel free to ask questions of us, which we'll answer in the comments. Although keep them to 'yes/no' questions - we can't give the game away too easily.
Good luck!
UK Census Competition: Sharing Our Family Stories
We’ve just come across an interesting competition for UK users, and thought we’d share it with you.
On 27th March next year the UK will be conducting its national census, and to celebrate this a competition has been set up for UK residents to share their family stories.
Called ‘Then and now: family stories’, the competition gives people the chance to represent the changing face of Britain over the past several decades by showcasing the part their own families played in it.

NGS Raffle Winners!
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet some of you at the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a well organized event, with many great speakers, product release announcements, with interesting companies furthering genealogical research, developing data protection and transforming family trees into works of art. It was also a good chance to meet some of our users and those who are part of the international genealogy market. I staffed the MyHeritage booth with Daniel Horowitz, our Genealogy and Translations Manager, and we were happy with the enthusiasm shown towards our products. Together, we answered some of your questions, chatted about your family discoveries, and noted your thoughts about the strengths of our site and what users want to see as MyHeritage.com goes forward.

Happy Mother’s Day: The Poetry Contest
Once a year we pay attention to the moms of this world, motherhood and maternal bonds and this time we want to mark the day with something special; A poetry contest! It is a special day that has been celebrated for hundreds of years, illustrating how many people feel that motherhood is something to honored. As a child I once asked my mother why we didn't have a children's day and she replied 'every day is children's day', and so it is.
Happy Mother's Day!
Even if the Mother's day isn't celebrated on the same day everywhere, the idea is the same across the world: mothers deserve special attention once in a while. As expected practices of mother day differ around the world. In Mexico, for example, the mother is treated to a song sung by her family, or a serenade by a hired band, in Ethiopia, mothers day is a three day festival where everyone returns to their villages for family meal, while in Sweden attention is paid to poor mothers and their children through way of the the Swedish Red Cross sells selling small plastic flowers and the United Kingdom. It is customary to serve Simnel Cake, a glazed fruitcake inspired by a folk tale.

The team at MyHeritage is now laying the groundwork for a fantastic new project: the First MyHeritage Web Awards.
We'll scour online genealogy communities across the world, and recognize the best websites and blogs with this award. It's the first time we've done this, so it's very exciting.
Our expert judging panel has set three criteria: 1) high quality content; 2) originality in topic choice, approach and design; and 3) frequently updated content. We're hoping to showcase the best genealogy sites in smaller countries, as well as those as far afield as Greece, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
