| African-American Genealogy Group of Kentucky The African-American Genealogy Group of Kentucky was formed in January 2011 by 11 researchers interested in preserving the history and heritage of Kentucky's African American generations. The group grew out of frustrating exceptions in researching Black history when traditional research methods were roadblocked by slavery. Jim Crow laws not only segregated African Americans in public spaces during a dark time in United States history, but had a similar effect on record-keeping as well. African Americans in historical records could be filed under a plethora of different titles, in the back of books, un-indexed, or simply missing altogether. It was out of these frustrations that the AAGGKY came to be -- the first group of its kind in Kentucky. It officially incorporated in April 2011, and the rest is history.Last Updated: 9 June 2016 [Located in Category: Kentucky & Indiana] |

Women felt the desire to express their patriotic feelings and were frustrated by their exclusion from men's organizations formed to perpetuate the memory of ancestors who fought to make this country free and independent. As a result, a group of pioneering women in the nation's capital formed their own organization and the Daughters of the American Revolution has carried the torch of patriotism ever since.Last Updated: 10 June 2016 [Located in Category: National & International] |

As the number of registrations grew, it was also apparent that duplication of effort and waste of time was reaching an unacceptable level, without knowledge of what was completed and what needed further investigation. The National Graves Registration Database is now available to all. The database was activated February 22, 2005. This will make all original registrations available for viewing by the general public, as well as allowing for new registrations to be entered through our online program. For the time being, only new graves registrations will be entered through the "submitter" area.

Sometime during the weeks of Centennial celebration, Mr. Holliday came upon the notion of organizing a society composed of people who were descendants of the early settlers of Indiana, the pioneers who opened the State to civilization, thereafter discussing, promoting and planning it with family, friends and acquaintances. On September 15, 1916, Mr. Holliday and a considerable number of people met to hear the report of a planning committee and its presentation of a proposed constitution that was adopted by those attending.

You may even find an original birth certificate and a second certificate that lists the names of any adoptive parents. Death certificates provide similar information about someone who passed away.
