From guest editor, Arlene V. Jennings, CG
The
celebration of the National Genealogical
Society Quarterly’s 100th anniversary is ending the year with
the release of two new videos featuring Donna Valley Russell in “Becoming a
Genealogist and an Editor” and George and Donna Russell together in “Married to
Genealogy.”
An
expert in Western Maryland genealogy, Donna
tells the story of her path from census taker to genealogist and editor.
Originally from Michigan Maryland and founded her
own journal, Western
Maryland Genealogy. In 1985, based
on the quality and quantity of her scholarly publications, she was named a
fellow of the American Society of Genealogists. Her published works include Frederick County, Maryland, Wills,
1744-1794; First Families of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1649-1658;
Frederick County, Maryland, Genealogical Research Guide; Michigan Censuses,
1710-1830; Selby Families of Colonial America; and The Ark and the Dove Adventurers (co-edited with George).
The
second new video takes a lighthearted look at the genealogy scene with the
George and Donna Russell cocktail hour. George Ely Russell, who first appeared
in the Voices of Genealogy in January 2012, is also a fellow of the American
Society of Genealogists and of the National Genealogical Society. He was the
editor of the NGSQ from 1971-1986.
The
videos were produced by award winning filmmakers Kate Geis and Allen Moore from
interviews with Melinde Lutz Byrne, CG, FASG, co-editor of the NGSQ. Donna Valley Russell in “Becoming
a Genealogist and an Editor” and Donna and George Russell in “Married to
Genealogy” are now playing at http://www.ngsgenealogy.org.
