The following is a message sent by Deborah Lee Stewart, President, Middlesex Chapter of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists:

"Dear Friends - I am saddened to report that a long-time member of the Middlesex Chapter, Helen Schatvet Ullmann has passed away. From MSOG: "Helen was the 2019 recipient of the MOST Robert J. Tarte Award, given to those who have been distinguished for their exceptional, outstanding service that promotes the study of Family History and Genealogy and openness of Massachusetts's public records. She was a longtime member of the MASSOG editorial board and will be missed by many." She was a driving force in the genealogical community and among other things a long-time editor at NEHGS."
