Paula Stuart-Warren, a talented and engaging teacher as well as meticulous researcher has been awarded the UGA Fellow award.Fellows are awarded "in recognition of living individuals whose distinguished contributions and on-going commitment to the field of genealogy are of national or international scope. This may be evidenced by any combination of publications, teaching and speaking, or leadership of major genealogical organizations over a significant period of time." Isn't this a perfect description of Paula?

The first SLIG I attended (2007) was Paula's American Records ~ I was a newbie to genealogy and she was extremely helpful and very encouraging. She is an excellent speaker and she was quite helpful in looking at my research problem and giving me advice on how to proceed with Minnesota research.
ReplyDeleteI recently attended the 2011 SLIG and although I only saw her in passing a few times, she stopped to say hello and asked me how my research was going ~ great memory and great teacher/cheerleader. You made a Fellow of a very deserving individual ~ congrats to Paula.
