We want to congratulate and welcome Kim Barney and Greg Ramstedt, new Accredited Genealogist® professionals who recently passed their oral reviews.

Kim is now accredited for research in the U.S. Midwest Region, and Greg is accredited for research in the records of England. Nice work!

And congratulations to Fritz Juengling, who recently received an additional AG credential for research in the records of Belgium. Fritz already is accredited for research in Germany and the Netherlands.
