Yesterday, as NAFTA Round 6 talks among representatives from Canada, the United States, and Mexico wrapped up in Montreal, the National Genealogical Society in Falls Church, Virginia announced a bi-national working relationship.
The National Genealogical Society (NGS) issued an announcement it has named Canadian Alison Hare and American Nancy A. Peters as co-editors of its National Genealogical Society Quarterly beginning with the March 2019 issue.
They take the reins of editorial responsibility for this publication from retiring editors Thomas W. Jones and Melinde Lutz Byrne who will continue as co-editors through the publication of the December 2018 issue.
Ms. Hare, CG®, of Nepean, Ontario, has served as a trustee for BCG since 2009. She honed her writing and editing skills during twelve years as a journalist and as an editor for Southam News, Canada’s premier wire service. In addition to providing ad hoc editorial assistance to BCG’s OnBoard newsletter, she contributed to the revision and development of genealogical standards as a member of BCG’s standards manual committee, 2013-2014. She has lectured at several NGS Family History Conferences. Among the topics she presented were citations and a case study illustrating the use of the Genealogical Proof Standard. Ms. Hare’s professional and personal genealogical research has encompassed Canada, the United States, England, Ireland, and Scotland.
Ms. Peters, CG, CGLSM, of Aiken, South Carolina, serves as a trustee for the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) and is the editor of its newsletter, OnBoard.
