AFFHO Award for Meritorious Service to Family History
At each triennial Congress we award the AFFHO Award for Meritorious Service to Family History. Nominations are received from member societies and winners are chosen by council. This time, as in 2009, two awards were made. The winners were Paul Mackett (Queensland) and Shauna Hicks (Victoria). Shauna was presented her award at the Congress dinner. Paul was presented his at a meeting of the Queensland Family History Society on 18 February.
Congratulations are extended to both Paul and Shauna.
