When you join the Society, we would appreciate your
sharing the surnames and locations you are researching. We welcome your pedigree charts, family group sheets, and any information you have to share. Materials submitted will be placed in our library files.
Research is done on a limited basis for out-of-town members. Specific data must be requested--we cannot do your family history! Research is confined to our small library collection. All requests must include a
self-addressed, stamped envelope or send an e-mail to lougensoc@yahoo.com. Our research staff consists of volunteer members with limited time.
The Louisville Genealogical Society is a tax-exempt
organization. Donations are welcome; we will gladly
furnish any donor with a receipt for tax purposes.
