1895
ADAIR COUNTY, KENTUCKY SCHOOL REPORT
African-American School Districts
Pages 1 - 10;
In 1895 a survey was made in Adair County of all school age children.
The trustees in each district compiled a list and this was combined into
a book. The following names and dates were taken from that book.
The original report is in the school district office. Many initials were used
for both parent and children's given names, but research in various
other records has enabled me to fill in most of these names.
Unless I knew for sure a surname was wrong, I have left the spelling as
it was in the report.
Transcribed by Sharon Bell : sharonkbell@earthlink.net
Data for each family is: parent or guardian, name and birth year for each
student in the family. If the child has a different surname it will be in
uppercase letters.
