FGS Distinguished Service Award: Kay Crockette Stone

FGS Distinguished Service Award: Kay Crockette Stone

Another of the deserving genealogists that FGS honored in 2014 is Kay Crockette Stone from Florida. Kay is a member of the FGS member society, Imperial Polk [FL] Genealogical Society. She has been a member for almost 30 years and is the appointed cemetery committee chair.

For more than 20 years she worked with the cemetery committee to survey, transcribe, and publish nine volumes about the county cemeteries. Nine!

She has been one of the most diligent and relentless persons about details and accuracy as she entered all the tombstone transcriptions, checked, and rechecked for accuracy.
