National Genealogical Society Seeks Nominations for the 2013 …
Since 1986 when Donald Lines Jacobus became the first genealogist elected to the National Genealogy Hall of Fame, twenty?five outstanding genealogists have been recognized for their contributions. The 2012 honoree will join this select group of distinguished members. This year’s selection, and the society that honored the nominee, will be feted at the 2013 NGS Family History Conference to be held 8-11 May 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nominations for election to the Hall of Fame are made by genealogical societies and historical societies throughout the United States.
