Staff Members and Volunteers

Kaye Ford, AG®,Co-Executive Director
Kaye is a born-and-bred Henry County native.  Her love of words and research led her to a 20-year-long career as a certified medical transcriptionist at Henry Community Health.  Her passion for genealogy was ignited by her late aunt, Julia C. (Ballard) Melton.  In 2013, Kaye began volunteering at HCHS and transitioned into her second career as a professional genealogist.  Becoming Co-Executive Director of HCHS was a natural fit, a combination of a lifelong love for Henry County and a dedication to advancing professional genealogical standards.  She lives to learn something new every day!
