Season two of the Kentucky Historical Society’s “Kentucky Ancestors” premieres in April across the state
FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 15, 2022) - Every family has at least one mystery—an intriguing person, a possible connection to someone famous, or maybe even someone infamous. The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) is excited to announce the premiere of season two of Kentucky Ancestors in the state’s major television markets. The season features five half-hour episodes, airing monthly starting in April, featuring host Heather French Henry.
A program centered on genealogy discovery, Kentucky Ancestors digs into the roots of Kentucky’s family tree to answer big questions eluding families for generations. By connecting family folklore and the existing historical record, the KHS team investigates a series of mysteries rooted in Kentucky genealogy and reveals the findings before a studio audience.
“We hope by exploring these exciting and sometimes emotional family mysteries, we inspire others to trace their roots,” said Scott Alvey, KHS Executive Director. “These cases provide invaluable teaching moments and new tips and techniques for those interested in solving their own family mysteries while telling some of Kentucky’s most rich and fascinating stories. KHS is a required stop for anyone researching a family tree with Kentucky ancestors.”
Season two launches on Saturday, April 16, at noon ET on WCPO-TV ABC Cincinnati.
