ANNA MAE HANSON AWARD - 2008

At the 2008 State Conference, Shawna Valentine made an unprecedented announcement that the Anna Mae Hanson award was presented to four exceptional members.

Anna Mae Hanson was a member of the Broken Mountain Genealogical Society [BMGS] in Chester for many years and gave a great deal of time and service to that society. She was one of the founding members of the state society and served as historian until her death in October 1996. She was the kind of person that quietly gave many - many hours, and never asked to have attention for her efforts. More Detailed Biography.

About the Award

The first Anna Mae Hanson award was announced at the 1997 Montana State Genealogical Society Annual Conference in Glendive, MT. This is an award for dedicated service in the genealogical community. We will accept nominations from any member of the Montana State Genealogical Society. A committee of three district representatives will be appointed by the president each year to select the person to receive the award. Please be thinking of people in your local society that you would like to nominate for this award. You all know that we honor someone out of our seventeen Societies for the Anna Mae Hanson Award.  This award is to be presented to someone who is an outstanding person, works beyond what is expected of them and is very dedicated to the field of genealogy.  Nominations should be done in a written letter and submitted to Al Stoner, 44 Wonder Rd, Clancy MT  59634. The Society will present the award each year at our annual conference.
