Speaker Spotlight: Don W. Rightmyer, Session T-207, “Researching Kentucky Records”

Nothing could be more exciting than talking about doing Kentucky genealogy research at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday morning at this year’s NGS conference in Cincinnati. Don W. Rightmyer, editor of the Kentucky Historical Society’s genealogy quarterly, Kentucky Ancestors, will be fired up and ready to discuss “Researching Kentucky Records” -- what and where to find the family history materials you’re seeking for your ancestors who may have passed through Kentucky.

Don’s presentation will cover the material in the NGS conference syllabus and a whole lot more. Kentucky has one of the highest numbers of counties of any state in the nation and Don will provide not only his presentation to help attendees understand Kentucky and where the genealogical materials can be found, but also information on how to understand the history and heritage of Kentucky and how it impacts the genealogical researcher. Additional handout materials will be available for session participants and Don will be available throughout the entire conference for anyone who has further questions.
