The Kentucky Genealogical Society joins the Kentucky Historical Society in hosting a series of free genealogy workshops each month at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History.
This month, KGS & KHS welcomes Bob McLaren as he covers Scottish Genealogy!
About the Speaker: Bob McLaren has been doing genealogical research for over 30 years. He is the Chairman of the Genealogy Committee for the Clan MacLaren Society of North America. In 2008, the Clan MacLaren Society (based in Scotland) asked him to be their Genealogist and he accepted. He is also the Mid-Atlantic Commissioner for the Clan MacLaren Society of North America. Bob is easily recognized at genealogy conferences since he wears the MacLaren kilt. He is the Project Administrator for the Clan MacLaren Surname DNA Project, one of the largest DNA projects, with 425 participants as of August 2009. He is also the Project Administrator for three smaller surname DNA projects (Lindo, da Silva, and Braham) He presented numerous talks on DNA and genealogy at NGS Annual Conferences, to the DAR, and to other national and local societies. Bob has done research in many areas of the U.S., Canada, and Scotland helping Clan members and clients.
