Last night I received word that my article “Getting You
Pointed in the Right Direction" which was published in the “Society Pages”
December 2013 edition won an honorable mention from the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors (ISFHWE). The Society Pages
is the regular column I write for the Going In-Depth magazine about lineage societies.
This is the 2nd honorable mention I have
received from the ISFHWE. Last year I was awarded an honorable mentionfor my article published in the December 2012 issue of Family Tree Magazine titled “Testing The DNA Waters: How to Get
Started With Genetic Genealogy And DNA Research.”
I am thrilled to have been recognized by the ISFHWE as
there is always stiff competition each year.
Can’t wait to see what happens next year!
Congratulations again to all the winners. You are amazing writers!
