Born and reared in Kentucky, Kirk Woosley Patton's roots run deep in the Bluegrass with at least seven generations of ancestors buried in its soil. Kirk was graduated with honors from the University of Kentucky, having studied history and being inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. Following graduation from the UK College of Law, Kirk practiced law in Kentucky for eighteen years before relocating with his family to Colorado and launching a career as a professional genealogist.

Kirk has more than twenty years experience researching his family history in Kentucky and across the United States. Kirk spends considerable time in both Colorado and Kentucky, where he continues the search for his ancestry in courthouses, libraries, archives, churches and cemeteries across the state.

Kirk founded the "William Woosley Descendants Association" and facilitates its online community for those who claim as an ancestor this veteran of the American Revolution. Kirk also is active in his local genealogical society, for which he serves as president, writes a newsletter column and facilitates a genealogy study group.

Fincastle Ancestry Research is named in honor of Kirk's native state's origin as a part of Fincastle County, Virginia.
