Goodbye to Another Longtime StLGS Volunteer and Some New Maps on Our Website

Another of our valued StLGS volunteers has passed away, and we share an "In Memoriam" this week to our former remote data entry team leader, Mary Ryan. We'll fill you in next week on upcoming April events, but meanwhile, please use the Annual Family History Conference and Calendar of Events pages on our website for the latest news. Registration has opened for our annual Salt Lake City Research trip, and, in addition, we want to tell you about two new mapping resources uploaded recently to our website, so please keep reading.

May Brings Both Good and Sad News to StLGS

As with life in general, this week brings us some very pleasant, some bittersweet, and some very sad news to report to you. St. Louis Genealogical Society is the recipient of a lovely honor and an award from the National Genealogical Society (NGS). We will be featured in a special segment of the NGS's virtual annual family history conference coming up this month. In addition, we recently celebrated the accomplishments and the retirement of one of our dedicated and hard-working office volunteers, and, sadly, we have to report the deaths of two of our colleagues.
