“Floyds of Jefferson County Environs”
Tuesday, April 9
“Floyds of Jefferson County Environs”  (Program)
1:00 pm
In-Person - 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy Louisville KY
 
Presented by:  Anne Bader
Our topic is the expanded Floyd family and some of the twelve siblings. Mention will be made regarding four brothers whose residency and life’s work imprinted a lasting impression on many geographical landmarks and institutions in our larger Jefferson County area. John Floyd is likely the primary individual inspiring the application of the Floyd name in so many local areas. However the emphasis will be on Nathan Floyd whose home in Valley Station has been a major archeological project for Anne and her colleagues.
 
Ann Bader is a native Louisvillian who holds two Master Degrees. The last was earned at the University of Kentucky with a major in Anthropology. Her first job related to this science was with the US Army Corp of Engineers. In 2006 she established her own firm, Corn Island Archaeology, and became involved in many historical “digs”. Last year Anne sold her business to HMB Professional Engineering. She continues to work for them in their archaeological project group. Currently the group has 20 ongoing projects. One of the most significant projects which has been overseen by Anne was the research and excavation of Beecher Terrace. Anna continues to be the primary leader of this significant and historically important effort. She expects to complete this extensive work in the near future.

“Delia Ann Webster, Underground Railroad Conductor”
Tuesday, May 14
“Delia Ann Webster, Underground Railroad Conductor”  (Program)
1:00 pm
In Person - at the corner of 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy and Linn Station Rd.
 
Presented by:  Terry Chambers
 
Delia Ann Webster was the first white woman to be incarcerated in the Kentucky State Penitentiary for her part in aiding the enslaved Lewis Hayden family in their escape to Canada in 1844. She and Rev. Calvin Fairbank made national headlines when they were convicted in Lexington, Ky, for "stealing" slaves. Upon release Delia continued her mission as Freedom Seeker on her 600 acre farm in Trimble County although she was jailed several more times and banished from her beloved homestead. In an era when women were expected to be pious, submissive and domestic, she fought for the rights and freedom of enslaved persons in the antebellum South. Hers is a story worth honoring.
 
Terry Chambers both entertains and educates. She is an LGS member and author of the book Rose Island, An Almost Accurate Account of Days Gone By. She presented a program on this topic to us in the past. She is an ever-busy lady having garnered an extensive business and legal background spanning a thirty-five-year career. Playing a lead role in both the business and social scene of her community, she maintains a leadership position in the Prospect-Goshen Rotary Club, Prospect Chamber of Commerce, Louisville Sail and Power Squadron, and Prospect Code Enforcement Board, among others. Additionally, Terry is founder/director/actor of the Prospect Area Play Readers community theater. She also has a close relationship with The Oldham County History Center. Never afraid of coloring outside the lines, Terry is affectionately referred to as Miss Bossy Pants, and known as someone who will take the lead and get things done.

“Family Bible Entries– What weight can be applied to the genealogical validity?”
Tuesday, June 11
“Family Bible Entries– What weight can be applied to the genealogical validity?”  (Program)
1:00 pm
In Person - at the corner of 1000 S. Hurstbourne Pkwy and Linn Station Rd.
 
Presented by:  Betty Graham
 
Whether you are researching your personal history or trying to identify family legacies for joining ancestral groups, come join us to discuss your Family Bible research. Have you used your Family Bible as documentation? What weight can be applied to its validity?  Has the information helped you find other family details that can be explored?  We will also discuss digitization of the family connections in your Bible for sharing and preservation.
 
Please forward your connections that the genealogy in the Family Bible helped document to: bg40245@yahoo.com
We will discuss as many as possible at the meeting. How did you find the Bible? Could this information help someone else with research? When was the Bible published?
