Kory L. Meyerink, BS, MLS, AG®, FUGA Kory Meyerink has been involved in nearly every aspect of genealogy and family history for the past 20 years, beginning as a record searcher while attending Brigham Young University where he received an Associate in Family and Local History, as well as a B.S. in Psychology. He later completed a Masters of Library and Information Science. Spending two years in Germany gave him a fluency that has served him well in his professional research. He became accredited in four areas (Germany, Midwest, Eastern and New England U.S.), specializing in tracing the origins of German and Dutch immigrants, before joining the staff of the Family History Library as a reference consultant. Later, as the library’s publication coordinator, he developed instructional and reference material for the thousands of Family History Centers supported by the library. He also served as the primary content consultant for the PBS Ancestors television series. In his recent work developing electronic products, Kory’s tasks included serving as product manager for the LDS Family History Suite and also developed the largest genealogical gazetteer and largest genealogical bibliography available on CD-ROM. As a teacher, Kory has
spoken at many local, state, and national genealogical conferences
throughout the U.S. and Canada, including NGS, FGS, GENTECH, and, since
1991, the annual BYU Family History Conference. Since 1991, he has also served as adjunct history faculty for
that university’s Salt Lake Center.
As the founding director of the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy,
he developed one of the nation’s largest such institutes.
He has written extensively, including chapters in The Library,
both editions of The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy,
as well as numerous articles and book reviews for the Genealogical
Journal, Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly,
Genealogical Computing, New York Genealogical and Biographical Record,
and The Genealogist.
Kory has served the genealogical community on national conference committees, as an officer of the Association of Professional Genealogists and the Utah Society, Sons of the American Revolution, and is a member of the National Genealogical Society. From 1996 through 1998 he served as president of the Utah Genealogical Association. Currently he conducts professional research in Salt Lake City where he lives with his wife and the three of his five children still at home. Kory Meyerink - kmeyerink@progenealogists.com
