Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most questions we are asked most frequently.

Can you help me find information about my Kentucky ancestor?

Our organization educates genealogists and family researchers by teaching them how to become more effective.
You are invited to join us for $20 annually and you’ll learn a lot about researching in Kentucky.

The society does not endorse individual genealogists, it does maintain a list of member researchers that you may contact.

The Society is not able to troubleshoot your technology issues. If you miss the webinar and you are a member, you can watch the video replay the next day.

Prior to the webinar starting, you will receive an email with a link to the webinar and information on how to test your technology for compatibility.

If you have trouble connecting, these steps might help:

  • Close all tabs and restart the web browser.
  • Try a different web browser to see if the same issue occurs.
  • Try rebooting your computer, which sometimes clears audio and video issues.

Here is the GotoWebinar Support Site Troubleshooting page with further information.

If you are struggling with using technology, see if basic computer literacy courses are offered at your local public library.
