Happy new year everyone! I would like to personally and cordially invite you to join a great organization dedicated to preserving and promoting an interest in Family History. The Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society is a non-profit group located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Society, organized in 1977, has grown from a small local group to include members presently located throughout the United States. Membership is open to anyone interested in genealogy. Our primary focus is Warren and surrounding Kentucky counties - Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, and Simpson. Annual dues for individual and family memberships are presently $20.00 U.S. per calendar year (January-December). This includes a subscription to The Longhunter, a 50-plus page quarterly publication with interesting articles and genealogical information, (one subscription per family membership). SKGS monthly meetings are ordinarily held on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 PM in the Community Meeting Room at Barnes and Noble Booksellers, 1680 Campbell Lane, Bowling Green, KY. These meetings provide time for the exchange of ideas, discussion of research methods, organization of data, and techniques for preservation of documents, as well as the study of historical events that affected the lives and movements of our ancestors. Guest speakers enliven the monthly meetings and field trips to local courthouses and cemeteries provide hands-on experience for new researchers. Visitors are welcome at all meetings. The Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society offers you The Longhunter quarterly, monthly meetings, outstanding programs, special workshops, special prices on new Society publications, and queries in The Longhunter. If you would like to join the Society, just send $20.00 to the following address: Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society P. O. Box 1782 Bowling Green, KY 42102 Please be sure to include your mailing address, phone number, and email address (if applicable). We look forward to hearing from you. Chad Reagan, President Southern Kentucky Genealogical Society. Dedicated to preserving and promoting an interest in Family History.
