The Louisville Genealogical Society’s annual Family History Seminar and Book Fair will take place Saturday, August 25, 2007 at the Shelby Campus of the University of Louisville. The location is the same as last year, though with better space available for classes and vendors. In keeping with commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, our featured speaker this year is Barbara Vines Little, noted expert on Virginia history and genealogy. Although her talks focus on Virginia, her techniques and research hints can be applied anywhere. Her topics include “Land and Inheritance,” “From Jamestown to the West: Early Virginia Migration Patterns,” “Virginia’s Tax Records: A Gold Mine of Information,” and “Teasing the Silent Woman from the Shadows of History.” In addition, five hour-long classes will be free with the $5 general admission fee. These include “Home Library for Serious Genealogists” by Pat Gooldy, “Using Maps, Atlases and Gazetteers” by John Palmer, “Jeffersontown, KY, the First 200 Years” by Joellen Tyler Johnston, “Researching German Ancestors” by Joseph R. Reinhart, and “DNA and Genealogy Research” by Mel Arnold. Further attractions include vendors, representatives of local organizations, and a silent auction.
