“The Power of Story: Knowing Our Best Possible Selves,” presented by Curt Witcher, set the tone for the 2022 TxSGS Awards Ceremony held Saturday, November 12, by inspiring attendees and reminding them of the importance of preserving and sharing family stories. The power of story was further emphasized as Bill Buckner, Awards Chair, and chairs of the various categories described the many submissions by authors, editors, and web designers. In all, 26 prizes in 10 categories celebrated the effort expended by authors, genealogists, society volunteers, and more across the state of Texas and beyond in writing books and manuscripts and creating websites.
The Awards Program received many quality submissions. Competition was tight; in some instances, the difference between first, second, and third place was miniscule. Judges faced tough challenges in making final selections in several categories.
Congratulations to each and every author, editor, society, compiler, indexer, transcriber, and webmaster for their success. Thank you for submitting your work to be considered for an award.
