I just noticed that the West Central Ky Family Research Center will reopen on Saturday May 13 and it is located at 222 Walnut St here in Owensboro.Walnut St is 1 block west of the main entrance of the Executive Inn and without going down there to look ,I know that it is close to the intersection of W2nd and Walnut St. Bob Norris

My husband and I were in Owensboro back in 1997. There is another research site in Owensboro besides the Ky Room at the Library? When you say "re-open" was it damaged in the Tornado? Please fill me in.

Klaryse, Yes, the genealogy society has its own building for meetings and storage of the many books it sells, and does have it open some for genealogy research. I have been to the KY room in Owensboro without realizing there was another location as well. My guess is the split took place in the early 1990s, but am not sure. In Evansville the Tri-state Genealogy society has its meeting right in the special collections area at Willard Library, but don't know if they have some storage space for other materials. Cindy

Yes, it was destroyed in the tornado. There is an article about it on the KYGenWeb page at http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/daviesstornado.html. They may have a new home, but probably still need help. For a list of some of their publications (don't ask me if these are still available, I don't know), take a look at http://members.aol.com/sammcpub/cat2ky.htm and scroll down to the second big section starting with Kentucky Family Records Series.
