That way you can more easily switch between the "What's New" list of names and the list of names on the "Obituary" page proper.
| Preliminary review of the "Three Slipper Shelter" site in Carter County. Gives you an idea of what a profession archeological site analysis looks like. So much knowledge of our pre-history is lost when artifact collectors destroy an archeological site. It's really no better than vandalism.

| Ooookkk. The map I previously identified as an 1876 US Geological Survey map was actually a Kentucky Geological Survey map. There are now two maps. One is of Greenup, Carter and Boyd Counties, the other is of Greenup, Carter and Lawrence Counties. There are some houses marked with owner names, but few of them are in Carter County. I had a choice of making the maps large, slow, unweldy and readable, or, small and unreadable. We''ll go with "readable" for now. My sympathies to any viewers using a dial-up internet connection.
