In
March and April,
1996, a group of
genealogists
organized the
Kentucky
Comprehensive
Genealogy
Database. The
idea was to
provide a single
entry point for
all counties in
Kentucky, where
collected
databases would
be stored. In
addition, the
databases would
be indexed and
cross-linked, so
that even if an
individual were
found in more
than one county,
they could be
located in the
index. At the
same time,
volunteers were
found who were
willing to
coordinate the
collection of
databases and
generally
oversee the
contents of each
county's web
page. These
pages are a
result of that
effort.

NOTE: These records have been transcribed from several different sources, either by
the coordinator or by other researchers and provided as a starting point to assist you in your research;
I've verified as many as I could, but be aware that there may be errors (either mis-spellings on the original records, almost illegible writing on the records, and/or typing errors on my part), so make sure to double check them prior to assuming they're "the gospel truth".
I will never deliberately include erroneous information in any part of this site.
If you have records that you'd like to see added to this site, please
contact the
webmaster
and
I'll be glad to add them to this collection.
