The Family History Writers Share-In is an informal gathering designed to provide you with a positive environment where you can discuss your writing.  Participants come from all points on the writing spectrum, from “never done this before” to bloggers to published authors.  You can share something you have been working on, provide feedback to others or just sit back and absorb the creative energy of the group.  The one thing that unites the group is a desire to write about family in a way that gets read. The Share-In happens every month on the 4th Saturday from 10:30AM-12:30PM. 

Seating is limited – so please pre-register for each session you plan to attend!

Each writing session is Free for KHS members OR part of the KHS’ general admission. Please pre-register by calling the KHS Refdesk at 502-782-8080 or by e-mailing us at: khsrefdesk@ky.gov

Some print copies may be available in our 1792 Store closer to the start of classes. Don’t worry, if you want to take both classes, our plan is to repeat this series next year, so those in the beginner class can take the advanced level in 2020.

The dates and times of both classes will be the same: 2-4 p.m. on the 4th Saturday of the month, March – November.

Join our Library staff on the 5th Saturday of every month from 2-4PM for tea time and good old fashioned conversation. Have an ancestor that is eluding you? Confused about which source to use next? Have questions about the proof standard or how to get the kids involved? Bring along your genealogy issues, hot topics or questions and the group will try to help you out. Even if we can’t solve your problem, we promise to provide lots of tea and sympathy!

All research levels welcome – let’s learn from each other’s experiences!
