THE LOUISVILLE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

The Louisville Genealogical Society was founded in 1985; membership is open to anyone interested in genealogy, or the history of Louisville, Jefferson County, and surrounding areas.  It was organized in 1985 as a nonprofit,  educational society for the purpose of preserving, evaluating and sharing local records.  Click here for a brief history of the early years of the society.

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 should be mailed to
Louisville Genealogical Society
PO Box 5164
Louisville, KY 40255-0164
and 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.

To make a contribution, contact our treasurer:

Lines and By-Lines is our quarterly journal. It is mailed the middle of March, June, September and December. A searchable index of articles which appeared in the 1986-1994 quarterlies may be found by clicking here. The editor of the quarterly is Susan Snyder. Contact her at treesbyme@aol.com

We meet on the second Tuesday of each month for a program meeting. On the fourth Tuesday (except in November and December) we have a business meeting and workshop on different aspects of genealogical research.

Be an Informed LGS Member.
LGS has sponsored for some time a Yahoo group used to send special announcements or other information. This is a "by invitation only" site, but it is available to all LGS members if you are registered as a member of the LGS Yahoo group. We will be using this site to communicate with members more and more in the future. As a participant you may post questions, receive important information, or read the answers to inquiries made by others who are not LGS members. To be a part of this group simply send an e-mail saying "I want to be a member of the Yahoo LGS group" to Amelia Debusman amelia@iglou.com and INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS. Amelia will send you an invitation to join the LGS Yahoo group and your response to that invitation will automatically enroll you. This action will permit you to post and receive messages to and from the society's yahoo website.
