Second Saturday: Using FamilySearch

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 Nancy Simmons Roberson as she covers Using Family Search!

Learn the ins and outs of using the international records and resources of FamilySearch.org. Presenter Nancy Simmons Roberson will offer tips on how to find genealogical treasures on the site (even in the un-indexed records), how to glean ancestral facts and stories from books posted there, and how to enhance research skills to get the most out of the billions of FamilySearch records. Roberson, a retired K-12 educator and athletics director from Michigan, lives in Louisville. She has more than 30 years of genealogical research experience and has been teaching and sharing her knowledge of FamilySearch for several years. Roberson is past president of the Louisville Genealogical Society and teaches the society’s internet genealogy classes. She is assistant registrar for the John Marshall DAR Chapter.

Morning session runs from 10:30-11:30 a.m., followed by a 15 minute break. Second session runs from 11:45-12:45 p.m. Registration for these free workshops is strongly encouraged. However, walk-ins are welcome. Please pre-register by calling the KHS Refdesk at 502-564-1792 x.4460 or by e-mailing us at: khsrefdesk@ky.gov
