The
National Genealogical Society is pleased to announce the October video release
honoring the 100th anniversary of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly (NGSQ): Frederick C. Hart Jr.’s
reflections on ”Becoming a Genealogist.”
An
electrical engineer by profession, Fred Hart’s inclination for problem solving
trumped his prior lack of interest in history when he discovered discrepancies
in published histories of his mother’s family. He took on the challenge of
resolving the differences and became dedicated to the discipline of genealogy.
Planning to build a second career when he retired, he began to undertake client
work and in 1993 earned the certified genealogist credential.
Fred
is the genealogist for the Connecticut Ancestry Society and has been a prolific
contributor to Connecticut Ancestry, the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Record, and The American Genealogist.
He was named a fellow of the American Society of Genealogists (ASG) in 2007 for
the quality and quantity of his published genealogical scholarship.
The
video was produced by award winning filmmakers Kate Geis and Allen Moore from
an interview by Melinde Lutz Byrne, CG, FASG, co-editor of the NGSQ. Frederick C. Hart Jr., CG, FASG, “Becoming
a Genealogist,” is now playing for all NGS members at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org.
