This workshop will be held from 2-4 p.m. at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage, 1701 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd., and will focus on how to use online church records to search for enslaved ancestors—in particular a database of Catholic baptismal records created by local non-profit organization Reckoning, Inc. It is recommended that participants have either attended the previous workshop, “Introduction to African American Genealogy,” or otherwise have some experience with genealogical research. This workshop will be conducted by Denyce Peyton, a professional genealogist with over 25 years of experience who is currently project director for Reckoning, Inc.’s Kentucky U.S. Colored Troops Project.

The workshop is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

Presented by Kentucky Center for African American Heritage in partnership with Reckoning, Inc.
