Genealogical Meeting was a success

By Mike Watson

A large group gathered at the Adair Public Library Monday evening, February 4, 2019, to learn more about a fascinating topic: the Melungeon people, and the DNA studies on this amalgamation of the Southern American population.

Darlene Franklin Campbell, who has spoken to us on this topic in the past, offered an exciting, revised presentation, adding fresh insight and new DNA results, bringing to life the ancient Melungeons, and more strongly connecting the present generations.


The Adair County Genealogical Society and the Adair County Public Library continue to bring speakers to the First Monday Night events in an effort to encourage and facilitate family history and genealogical research and understanding.

The next First Monday Night meeting will be Monday, March 4, 2019, with Estate and Probate research by Mike Watson.

The April meeting will feature Lanny Tucker, of Greensburg, author of many works including his most recent on The Harp Brothers. More to come!
