Congrats to our most recent Seton Shields Genealogical Grant winner! We are thrilled to announce that this is the 13th anniversary grant and brings the total number of grants awarded to 162!
Make sure you read about the Lucky 13 initiative. And don't forget you can apply for a grant here.
The Daviess County Public Library in Owensboro, KY has the largest collection of genealogy and local history materials in a public library in Western Kentucky. They have partnered with the Owensboro Museum of Science and History for a local history project called "Voices of Elmwood." As part of the project, they will research people who have been buried in Elmwood Cemetery, create a script, and have actors reenact their lives during an October hayride through the cemetery. The grant award will support this and other initiatives at the library.
