Rick A. Hagen of Owings, Maryland, has won the 2008 Genealogy/Family History Book Award of Merit, co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society, for Descendants of Joseph and Catherine Miller of New Berlin, Wisconsin. A three-member panel of judges representing the Historical Society and the State Genealogical Society selected Hagen's book from a field of nine nominees. The panel called the family history a thoroughly researched and meticulously documented account of the family and posterity of the title couple, mid-19th century immigrants from Germany to Waukesha County, Wisconsin. It was engagingly written, copiously illustrated and carefully indexed.
