 The Hamilton County Genealogical Society is proud to announce that The Tracer, our quarterly members-only journal, is the 2019 winner of the National Genealogical Society Newsletter Competition in the category of Major Genealogical and/or Historical Society (over 500 members). The Tracer has won the NGS award three of the four times it was nominated for the competition, in 2007, 2014, and now in 2019.
The NGS Award Committee used the following criteria – interest, variety, and originality of the material; quality of the writing and editing; readability; and attractiveness – when making its decision. The award was presented by Ben Spratling, NGS president, to Eileen Muccino, Tracer editor, on May 8 at the NGS Conference in St. Charles, Missouri (photo above).
