In the coming year, NGS members can look forward to exclusive interviews with leading scholars in the field of genealogy. These are somewhat more extended pieces than those in our earlier Paths to Your Past video series. They are reflective, inspiring, and informative. They describe the history of our discipline in the twentieth century as well as the stories of our subjects. Beautifully filmed and produced by award winning filmmakers Kate Geis and Allen Moore, these video portraits capture for posterity the irreplaceable legacy of genealogists who have greatly impacted scholarship in genealogy.
The first episodes with George Ely Russell, CG, FASG, FNGS, are currently available to all NGS members on the NGS website at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org. George was the editor of the NGSQ from 1971-1986. Interviewed at his home in Maryland

More information about the interviews is available in the January-February-March issue of the NGS Magazine. As always, we welcome your comments on the videos. Please contact the executive producer, Arlene V. Jennings, at [email protected].
