James N. Jackson

I have served as President of the Detroit Society for Genealogical Research, Inc., the Oakland County Genealogical Society, the Calhoun County Genealogical Society, and the Past-Camp Commander for Camp #22 of the Sons of the Civil War (SUVCW). I have been the index editor of the DSGR Magazine since 1994.

In addition to articles published in Genealogical Computing, Genealogical Helper, Heritage Quest and Keywords (published by the American Society of Indexers), I have written The Guide to the First Fifty Years of the DSGR Magazine, and The List of Pensioners on CD-ROM published by Heritage Quest, among many other publications.

I was honored to receive the 2006 Lucy Mary Kellogg Award from the Michigan Genealogical Council for "significant contribution to the preservation and education of Genealogy and History."

I have presented talks to various Societies, including the Great Lakes Conference, Fort Wayne, IN; the American Society of Indexers Conference in Philadelphia, PA; the Local History Conference, Macomb Community College, MI; the Ohio Genealogical Society in Cincinnati, OH; the Ontario Genealogical Society in Oshawa, ONT; and the National Genealogical Society (NGS) Family History Conference in Grand Rapids, MI.
