Family-History Workshop : Introduction To Early Kentucky Land Records And Land Platting And Deed M

Hear Kandie Adkinson of the Kentucky Secretary of State's Land Office describe how Kentucky's land patenting process worked and the types of genealogical information these records can yield. Adkinson will also describe new efforts to make the Land Office records more readily accessible. In the afternoon, Betty Warren will build upon information from the morning session to show how genealogists can trace real estate ownership and transfer through time, including the use of tools such as deed-mapping software. A light lunch is available at a cost of $6, payable at the door. Registration by noon on Friday, May 9, is required to reserve lunch.
