Family History Writing Award!

The Southern California Genealogical Society has sent an anouncment to me.  I have won top billing in their GENEii writers competition!
My narrative of Nellie Cowdrey's life during the Dust Bowl years will be published in "The Searcher."  This is the Society's research and family history journal.
The SCGS is a well organized, very helpful organization.  They have interesting information on their site for all family history researcher's, even those who do not live in Southern California.
