Winner of the RQG Student Prize

20 December 2024 by 5 Comments

I am delighted to announce that I have been awarded the RQG Student Prize 2024 for the University of Dundee.

The Register of Qualified Genealogists awards prizes each year to students who achieved the highest marks on their final thesis/dissertation. The University of Dundee’s Family and Local History postgraduate degree (Master of Letters) is one of four qualifying programs. I completed that degree earlier this year and graduated with distinction.

The University of Dundee selected my dissertation “Emigration from Winterswijk to America Between 1844 and 1878: Causes of the Emigration from a Border Town in the Netherlands” as the best Family and Local History dissertation of 2024. The RQG prize comes with an Amazon gift certificate that I will put to good use!
