I was hoping someone in an official capacity with the WCK:FRA (West Central Ky Family Research Association) would come in on this but I will make a try at it. The Association was started in 1968. Dues are $15 a year. You receive a bulletin and Ky Family Records quarterly. My Mother is a long time member and helped with a lot of their books. .They have an impressive list of publications to their credit, including cemetery and census books and 23 Volumes of their quarterly 'Kentucky Family Records". (for people with west central Ky connections these can be a goldmine) These are all for sale and are also available in the Ky Room at the Owensboro Library. I may br wrong on this but I believe that a number of the books in the Ky Room were donated by or are on loan from the Association. They have always been separate from the library and although I have never had the opportunity to use it, I believe their workroom does have material not available at the library. I know that they got Mike Edgeworths' papers when he died. I just hope nothing irreplaceable was lost in the storm. Because it is operated by volunteers their hours are restricted. Mon and maybe Wed. I'm usually only in Owensboro at the weekend to visist family so I never get to go. The address for any one interested is: WCK-FRA P O Box 1932 Owensboro Ky 42302-1932 Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: Cindy Birk Conley <cbconly@midwest.net> To: <KYDAVIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [KYDAVIES-L] genealogy libraries > 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.
