Research your roots with the African American Genealogy Group of Kentucky.
The group, which is thought to be the first of its kind in the state, helps participants get started, preserve their records and nagivate the various websites that help with genealogical research.
Interested?
Join the group June 18 for its next meeting at Camp Nelson Civil War Heritage Park in Jessamine County. Brandon Slone, archivist for the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs, will discuss blacks who served in the military, then the group will tour Camp Nelson. The meeting starts at 1 p.m. and welcomes all experience ranges.
Subsequent meetings are held in a different county on the third Saturday of the month. Nine counties — Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Franklin, Jefferson, Jessamine, Madison, Scott and Woodford counties — are represented in the group.
Annual membership in the African American Genealogy Group of Kentucky is $30 for individuals, $50 for organizations. If you just want to receive emails, the ambassador membership is free.
