Mark McCraw, VP of Programs introduced our speaker Joe Hardesty, Genealogical Research
Library Director, National Sons of the American Revolution. Joe spoke on the National SAR
Genealogical Research Library. He explained the powerful online genealogical research
available through the National SAR. Joe used the SAR website in his presentation, showing how
to access a wealth of genealogical information that the library has.
Joe started his presentation by discussing how he got started by in genealogy long before
Internet genealogy was available. Like many of us he spent countless hours staring at microfilm.
He pursued a master's degree in education and was then hired by the Louisville Free Libraryworking in the Genealogy deparTmenT. He
worked in that position for about 24 years and
then came to the SAR. He has been at the SAR
for three years. The Assistant Director of the
library is Bryan Christian.The library is a complete city block long. The
view of the library is shown to the right. The left
side of the first floor along with part of the right

are about 12,000 family genealogies. The rest of
