On October 21, Mayor Ron Kirk gave special recognition to the Dallas Genealogical Society’s $70,500 gift given by the 1997/98 DGS Board to the Genealogy Section of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library. The gift will be used to purchase storage cabinets, computer equipment and research materials for the library’s Genealogy Section. “These resources are much needed in what is one of the busiest public service areas of the library,” said Dallas Public Library director Ramiro Salazar.

On Wednesday, 16 October 1996, President Leslie Smith Collier accepted a Proclamation from the City of Dallas on behalf of the Dallas Genealogical Society. Presented by Councilman Steve Salazar, the plaque commemorates the Capital Expansion Project. Mayor Ron Kirk praised the Society and its ongoing support of the Genealogy Section. Councilwoman Donna Blumer extended her congratulations and acknowledged other society members who were in the audience (Pam Edman, Barbara Dossett, Karen Miller). Councilman Craig McDaniel, who shared a personal research story, made mention of the fact that if you want to find a crowd on a Saturday or Sunday, just go to the Genealogy Section.
