GSSCC Lecture: Finding Your Southern Roots

Kathlene Burrow, guest speaker

The presentation will include discussion of the traditions, unique history, and record peculiarities of the South that define the families who lived there.

The program will examine wars important to southern research; the influence of churches; and will briefly include information on African American records in the South.  Kathlene will explain helpful sources, finding aids and online databases.

Raised at the feet of a professional family history researcher, Kathlene Burrow  has been working with family history since childhood.  Kathy has been a genealogical educator for many years, and has served as the Director and Training Director of the Oakhurst family history center. She also volunteered for more than two years at the LDS Library in Salt Lake City, training other volunteers to read, transcribe, and index old pioneer journals.  Kathy is teaching her grandchildren how to do genealogy so they can help her to carry on the legacy and stories of those who have gone before.
