Congratulations to all those nominated as Difference Makers!
We began our Difference Maker series in 2008 to celebrate genealogy’s unsung heroes—people who’ve preserved records or eased access to them, helped others who otherwise wouldn’t be able to learn about their family history, or raised the profile of genealogy research.
