NCGS is pleased to announce the winners of our 2024 awards which honor worthy individual and society endeavors in publishing and other contributions to North Carolina genealogy. Awards were presented at the NCGS 2024 Fall Conference on October 26, 2024 at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh, NC. Due to increased publicity and a new online nomination process, we received three times as many submissions as last year making this year the most competitive in a very long while. We plan to start the nomination process much earlier next year, so be on the lookout. You can find more information at https://ncgenealogy.org/awards.
