Announced at its annual family history conference, the (US) National Genealogical Society (NGS) recognized The British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa (BIFHSGO) with an Award of Merit “for its outstanding work to connect, educate, share, and inspire people in the pursuit of genealogy. It supports researchers in Canada and beyond with effective research methods and practices focused on the British Isles. Its broad scope of programming includes in-person meetings, online education, publications, indexes to special populations of those of British Isles descent, and access to presentations of international speakers. The BIFHSGO continues to provide its members valuable content, a vibrant community of fellow researchers, and access to high-quality resources.”
The Award of Merit is presented to “an individual or non-profit genealogical or historical organization to recognize exceptional contributions to the field of genealogy over a period of five or more years. Their work must have significantly aided research or increased interest in genealogy.”
Congratulations to all who contribute to BIFHSGO’s success.
Congratulations for all you do!
