June 2019 - Fort Boonesborough State Park
While Daniel Boone is the most famous fort resident, aside from Monk Estill, little is known of the Blacks who were also residents. “A Gathering of Descendants” was a chance to learn and find out about research on the history of Fort Boonesborough and its inhabitants. AAGGKY joined other groups interested in researching Kentucky’s early settlers.

International Museum of the Horse, Lexington, KY
Member, Jeff Smith, shared his research, which focuses on his successful efforts to find Albert, the father of Jim Bright and patriarch of his mother's Lincoln County, KY family. The home base was a small community located in hill country near, Crab Orchard. It is hoped that what he shared will serve as encouragement to those who are on the same quest to learn about their early African American ancestors.
