This
month marks the sixth anniversary
of one of the steadiest and best
genealogists we have on staff.
Milt Botwinick is one of the
rocks we have built the Genealogy
Forum on. In 1996 we were really
just starting the concept of
ethnic chats online. Prior to
that, people that had unique
problems had to wade through the
mainstream genealogy chats and
message boards. Milt was a
pioneer in this new form of
online genealogy when he came to
me and asked if he could host the
Jewish Chat which we set up on
Thursday nights. Every Thursday
since then Milt has been there to
help people with one of the more
difficult forms of Genealogy,
Jewish Genealogy.
A
few years ago I was honored to
get a chance to actually meet
Milt when I attended the National
Genealogical conference met in
Valley Forge, Pa. Milt was
everything I expected him to be,
intelligent, hard working and a
very knowledgeable genealogist.
For
all the wonderful things he has
done over the years and all the
people he has helped, I want to
give my friend

Award.
