God Bless You, God
Bless Your Family, & God Bless America!
Like
our history and
our Nation,
this site is based on "In
God we Trust."
Due to health issues and family
interests, Bonnie and I have decided to give up the
Grant Co., Kentucky site. For the past 10 years
Bonnie and I have endeavored to post as many records as
possible on this site and dozens of you have contributed
your own family histories. Rather than loose this
research tool that so many of you rely on, we have asked
Beulah Franks to transfer our records to
her own Grant Co., Kentucky site with the
American Local History Network.
This
will be a slow process as there are over 200 pages (we
quit counting a long time ago) and some of it is
duplicates of what Beulah already has. Beulah has a
wonderful site if you have not already found it. She has
been a dear and respected colleague since Bonnie and I
first became interested in genealogy. This has been a
work of love and Beulah is the one person that Bonnie
and I could both agree would be a wonderful custodian of
your family histories. As we explained when you posted
them, those histories are yours. Your name will remain
on them. If you wish to have them removed, we will
certainly do so.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing
us to share this wonderful hobby which honors our
families and enriches or lives.

You
can take a walk down memory lane and share with us the
ambiance of your ancestor's lives, their music, their
dress and their customs. But if the lifestyle of this
century affords you little time, please use my search
engine. It will locate every page of my site that your
ancestors are listed on.
Note: You can search on any field (surnames
only, first names only, county only), or any
combination of fields.
The following searches will result in an
"every name" search: Surname Only
(whether soundex or not)
The following searches will give you only
those who are the main subject of a
biography:
County Only, First Name Only,
Any Multi-Field Search
The new "Wish List" lets you enter your
own query and correspond with each other, just like
our guest book. Please move your old queries. It
will give you a chance to make corrections.

A great tip from Angie, co-owner, if your
ancestors stone is broken, you can pour a
concrete form on top of the grave and place
the pieces of the stone in the concrete!
Please visit these excellent Kentucky county sites:
