Kim S. Harrison has been doing genealogy since 1974, and in 1998 was fortunate to turn her passion into her vocation. She has worked in the library community by representing some of the big online providers of information (Gale, Otherdays.com, ProQuest, NewsBank and Ancestry) as product manager for genealogical and historical materials. She is a member of the Ohio Genealogical Society, as well as past President of the Michigan Genealogical Council and Arizona Genealogical Advisory Board and founding member of the Grand River Trails Chapter of the NSDAR (MI). During the 1980’s she lobbied the National Archives to stop the destruction of the Railroad Pension Application files. Later she wrote a grant for the preservation of the investigation into the Sultana Disaster, which is now available (free) on Fold3. She is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild.

Whether you're just beginning your genealogy journey or you've been researching your family for years, there's something for everyone. Come for one workshop or make a day of it and attend them all!
