Awarded by SJ Baty who wrote: I cannot think of a recipient who is more deserving. Over the last 12 years I have a treasure trove of about 3,000 emails full of genealogical information from Harvey about our shared family including photos, birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, land records, grave photos... the list is never ending. It will take me at least a decade to upload all of the data you have shared with me. I will forever be indebted; our family will be forever indebted to you.
