Meeting Your Mentors
Each month we will be introducing a mentor to show you what he or she can do to help you on your genealogical discovery journey. This month we are introducing Kathy Cowsert.
See how she can help you meet your goals and use the lab's resources, technology and research tools. Her special genealogy skills, research interests and expertise are:

American Revolution
Land records, property ownership, and family connections, e.g., records from the Bureau of Land Management and (War) Bounty and purchased land information
Most Interesting Fact: Kathy found that in 1838, long before the Civil War, her mother's family purchased a slave in Missouri and brought him to Illinois to free him.
