Congratulations to the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa!
The National Genealogical Society yesterday, during the second day of its family history conference in Louisville, Kentucky, presented the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa with an Award of Merit to recognize exceptional contributions to the field of genealogy over a period of five or more years.
The citation reads:
