Wrapping up the 2021 DGS Awards Ceremony
The Dallas Genealogical Society held its 2021 Awards Ceremony Saturday, May 1, and for the first time, the ceremony was an all-virtual event. Despite the challenges of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic the past year, DGS not only survived but thrived, and we have a legion of wonderful volunteers to thank for that! There were many deserving candidates for the awards this year, and the awards committee had spirited debates when it came to making the selections. We are proud to present these deserving individuals and groups as our newest honorees.
