Genealogy Award Books

March 08, 2011

Looking for an example of a "good" family history book? Look no further than the Midwest Genealogy Center shelves. Several organizations give awards to individuals who create exemplary family histories. Among those are the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, North Carolina Genealogical Society, National Genealogical Society, New York Genealogical & Biographical Society, Heart of America Genealogical Society’s Anna Ford Book Contest, Association of Jewish Libraries, and American Society of Genealogists. 

We have many of those award winners, and have labeled the books accordingly. You can walk up and down the aisles of the 929.2 section and see a pink "Award Winner" sticker on the appropriate books. If you look at the front cover of the book, you will see the award name and the year the award was given. A complete listing of these award-winning books is available on our website, The Genealogy Awards Book List.
