CANCEL of the November 29, 2025 meeting at Blaine HQ's.  Due to the coming of the extreme cold weather (Projection of 20 degrees) the board decided for the safety of everyone to cancel the meeting.  Our next meeting will be 28 March 2026.  Thank you for understanding.

 

The Lawrence County, Kentucky, Genealogical and Historical Society, Inc. will meet 29 November 2025, Saturday at the Blaine Headquarters.  Meeting starts at 10:00 AM.  Vicki Moore will be our guest speaker.  She and others have been working on a Lawrence County Kentucky pictorial book.  It is at the publishers now, so we are hoping she will have it available for sale.

 

The March 2026 meeting our guest speaker will be Judge John David Preston.  He has written a new book on Johnson County, Kentucky and he will have it available for sale.  Judge Preston always gives a very interesting speech.
