The eighth annual Eastern Kentucky Genealogy Conference will be Sept. 18-20 at the Ramada Inn in Paintsville.
The event, which promotes the research and preservation of eastern Kentucky family history, offers a wealth of information for any family historian with ties to eastern Kentucky.
The conference provides both novice and veteran researchers the opportunity to connect with others researching the same surnames, with many "brick walls" having been broken down by the connections.
The Kentucky Historical Society, Kentucky Genealogical Society and several other eastern Kentucky historical and genealogical societies will be represented as well as numerous researchers from across the country.
