In honor of its 50th anniversary, the Kentucky Genealogical Society is offering ten live webinars in August for only $30 for members and $100 for members. (Or you can become a member for $20 and save $50.) I’m particularly excited by this because my family lived in Kentucky. But as you can see from the list of seminar topics below, Kentucky touches so much, so there may be something here for you even you don’t hail from that state.
The theme is “Kentucky: Daughter of the East and Mother of the West.” Here are the scheduled presentations:
- Pennsylvania: Unveiling the Keystone State’s Hidden Treasures
- North Carolina: Tracing Roots in the Old North State
- Virginia (Germanna): Unearthing Forgotten Stories of Early Settlers to Kentucky
- Immigration to Kentucky: Piecing Together Ancestral Journeys
- Unraveling African Americans in Kentucky Records: Seeking the Last Slave Holder
- California: Tracing the Westward Path of Pioneer Ancestors
- Texas: Exploring the Lone Star State’s Impact on Kentucky Settlers
- Illinois: Navigating the Prairie State for Clues on Your Ancestors
- Michigan: Tracing the Footsteps of Ancestors in the Great Lakes State
- Wisconsin: Unveiling the Secrets of Your Ancestors in the Badger State
The webinars kick off on August 1 and finish up on August 30. The live events begin at 7 pm EDT and recordings are available to registrants for 30 days after the seminar ends. For more information, including speaker names and seminar dates, go to the seminar registration page.
Just wanted to say Janine, how genealogy brings people together in the most unexpected of ways.
I’ve lived in England all my life, but my nan had a child in Canada in 1930. Through the Ancestry app, I’m now in contact with a cousin in Buffalo and we are meeting for the first time in New York next month
Best wishes

Darren, that’s fantastic. I hope your meeting in NY is/was joyous!
