  • Kim S. Harrison has been doing genealogy since 1974, and in 1998 it was fortunate to turn her passion into her vocation.  I have had the privilege of working 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.

    My genealogy membership since 1970’s has been NGS and Ohio Genealogical Society, as well as being past President of the Michigan Genealogical Council and Arizona Genealogical Advisory Board and founding member of the Grand River Trails Chapter of the DAR (MI).  During the 1980’s I lobbied the National Archives to stop the destruction of the Railroad Pension Application files.  Later I had written a grant for the preservation of the investigation into the Sultana Disaster, which is now available (free) on Fold3.
