The Texas State Genealogical Society awarded Susan Kaufman with the status of Fellow at our 2019 Family History Conference at our Awards Banquet on October 12th in Houston.
Manager of the Clayton Library Genealogy Center / Houston Public Library, Susan Kaufman has led this Texas treasure since 2006. During her tenure, the Clayton Library has become one of the finest genealogy libraries in the nation with some 100,000 research volumes, 3,000 periodical titles, and an extensive microfilm collection.
Beyond her work with the Clayton Library, Susan has been a highly visible promoter of genealogy and genealogical education throughout Texas, which is a core mission of TxSGS. She has continually worked to execute that mission since her first day as a member of the TxSGS Board of Directors.
Susan’s emphasis on education, mentorship, and leadership, combined with her enthusiastic representation of TxSGS, strengthened the reputation of TxSGS locally and on the national level. She has unselfishly used her contacts and knowledge to further the goals of TxSGS and promote TxSGS in Texas and national genealogical communities.
