South Central Pa. Genealogical Society

Sunday June 14 – Henry James Young Awards

This program will be held in person and also on Zoom.  Registration coming soon.

The Henry James Young Award provides South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society with a means
of honoring significant accomplishments in the field of local genealogy and history.

The award is named for Henry James Young, a local genealogist and historian. Mr. Young was a librarian
at the Historical Society of York County (now the York County History Center) who began the collection
of card files and genealogical reports. Through his efforts, skills and energy, the people of today’s York
County have a better understanding and appreciation of their heritage. The Henry James Young Award
recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the preservation of history and
genealogy.

Our two honorees are Stephen Smith and Dr. Roger Wilson who have both provided valuable
publications on local history and genealogy over the years. (Dr. Wilson will be honored in absentia).

This event is open to the public and light refreshments will be served.
