3 Ideal Stay-at-Home Pastimes
Running out of interesting things to do at home? How about one or more of these possibilities?
1. Help genealogists
worldwide by joining the Bluegrass Roots surname indexing team. Volunteers use easy online indexing software provided by KGS and choose when and how much to be involved. No indexing experience is required. To volunteer, send email to Rosemary McFarland at info@kygs.org.
2. If you're a member, add your ancestral surnames to Surname Connections. Instructions make it easy – and you might hear from cousins who can add generations to your research.
3. Go to KGS on Facebook and Twitter and scroll through the posts to get dozens of research ideas and links.
Stay home but stay connected through KGS.
We're always open online!
