Bonus Session: Let's Talk Genea-Tech
Are you having trouble with a function in your genealogy software? Do you have a favorite tech tip that could benefit your fellow researchers? Do you have questions about a genealogy website? Are you looking for a smart phone or tablet app that will make your on-site research more productive? Join us March 9 as KGS adds a third session to the 2nd Saturday schedule. These sessions will concentrate on using technology to be more productive with all phases of genealogy research. During this first workshop, the floor will be open for questions and discussion about any genealogy-related technology subject. Future workshops will have a focus topic, but all sessions will be more discussion than lecture.
Questions? Send email to KentuckyGenealogicalSociety@gmail.com.

March 9th Second Saturday Program:
Speaker: Gail Miller, CG
Titles/Descriptions:
They Paid Their Taxes: Using Kentucky Tax Lists for pre-1850s Research
Kentucky tax lists are the most complete records in the south for the pre-1850s time period. They were the only record created annually for your Kentucky ancestor. Learn how to use these valuable records to reveal your ancestor's life-style, prove relationships, identify neighbors, sort men of the same name, and determine prior residence.
Using Kentucky Equity and Criminal Court Cases to Complete Your Research
Court documents contain information related specifically to the case, to relationships, and to personal information about family members and neighbors. These little used, loose, court documents often contain detailed information not available anywhere else. Learn how to use these valuable records to make progress in your difficult cases.
