SOCIETY'S NEW BOOK RECEIVES AWARD
Bradley R. Foley and Adrian Whicker were awarded the Willie Parker Peace History Book Award on October 11, 2008 in Hickory, NC for their work on The Civil War Ends: Greensboro, April 1865. This award was given by the North Carolina Society of Historians.
We congratulate both Brad and Adrian. They have worked tirelessly on behalf of our Society and are truly deserving of this recognition. Brad edits our Journal and Adrian is responsible for the monthly newsletter. We are also very proud of our book. It had been a very successful venture.
The Guilford County Genealogical Society, founded in 1974, is a non-profit organization of over 400 members nationwide, dedicated to genealogy and family history research, education and publication. Through its educational programs and publications, GCGS promotes interest in genealogy and standards of genealogical research. GCGS also promotes the collection and preservation of family records, manuscripts, documents and other genealogy materials. Although the primary focus of GCGS is Guilford County genealogy, many of GCGS's programs are of general interest to anyone interested in genealogy.
See the Events page for 2009 membership meeting dates and programs.
