Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies provides a web site to serve as an instrument for communication and educational opportunities among all societies that have an interest in preserving and disseminating historical and genealogical information. The Council encourages the preservation of manuscripts, books, records, etc. and making them as easily accessible to researchers through all genealogical/historical facilities. The web site also provides a means of sharing ideas and promoting publications, research tours, workshops and other scheduled events of interest to genealogists; and provides applications for Forgotten Settlers Certificates and the Family History Genealogy Awards.
You have, no doubt, heard by now that the 1940 Federal Census were released by the NARA on April 2, 2012. The digitized
images of Kansas districts were indexed in less than two weeks after the state
images are put up. Kansas Council of Genealogical Societies had agreed to
coordinate the indexing efforts of all Kansas enumeration districts and we are
very pleased at the tremendous response of our member societies and the
individuals who helped accomplish the task.
How many times in your research have you used "Random Acts of Genealogical
Kindness" or ask that a photo be taken by a "Find-A-Grave" volunteer?
Now is your chance to help out other researchers. You can sign up to help by
visiting https://www.familysearch.org/1940census
and entering your name and e-mail and by selecting Kansas Council of
Genealogical Societies as the choice in “Group”, under additional information
in your profile. There are still many images of other states to be indexed so
please consider helping.
If you are looking for someone to do research in Kansas for you please contact a society in the county you are interested in or the Kansas State Historical Society. KCGS does not have a library.
