Next up in the celebration of the upcoming 15th anniversary of the Seton Shields Genealogical Grants program is a look back at Myrna Shirey of the Fore-Kin Trails Genealogical Society in Montrose, Colorado, who received a grant in 2014.
Myrna used her grant to purchase a large flatbed scanner for digitizing a variety of records – to include funeral home books, newspaper obituaries, and club logs – from the Montrose area. The society funds the Montrose Genealogy Center that is free to the public and is completely funded by donations and product sales resulting from preservation work.
