KGS Mission Statement
To foster excellence in genealogy through educational programs and projects that preserve, produce, and disseminate knowledge of genealogical or historical value. 
To bring together persons who are interested in genealogy or family history, and to promote fellowship and networking.
To encourage the preservation and availability of records essential to genealogical and historical research.
KGS Diversity Statement
KGS is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment for all Kentuckians and Kentucky genealogical researchers. We strive to offer a wide array of topics that support the varied Kentuckian experience and highlight the kaleidoscope of humans of every race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, or immigration path that have called Kentucky home since before its statehood in 1792. Together, we welcome the incredible opportunity to learn and grow together in our pursuit of genealogical education and preservation.
