Discovering
our ancestors and understanding their lives, can only
enrich our own. When we study our family history, we add
"value" to the lives of those who were here
before us and in doing so add value to our own. We tell
our children that what they do matters because they are
a part of something bigger than themselves. They are
apart of "Our Family"
We hope you will
benefit from the resources you find here. Please visit
Bonnie's Pendleton
Co. site and Sandy's
Mom's site to continue your journey through Kentucky
history.
Bob
Weis's Book "Never Say Goodbye" as
well has his family web site are a must see for
Kentucky researchers. In Bob's words "You are
about to take a journey, and learn about quite a few
people while reading this book. They are the pioneers
of Grant and Boone County Kentucky....."
Another don't miss book; it is wonderful!
Please Note: Tom Hutzelman has a few
copies of his excellent 1858 Grant County Atlas left.
He is selling them at cost. The price of the
book is $42.00. You may contact him at the
following: flextom@adelphia.net I purchased this book and I recommend it, it is a
wonderful book!
"My Old Kentucky
Home"
By Stephen Foster
Weep no more, my

song for the old the Kentucky home
For the old
Kentucky home far away"
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.

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

Beulah's site is wonderful! What we
don't have listed, she does! She helped
us both when we started researching our own
families and we love her dearly!
She is a wonderful friend and a boon to all
researchers in Grant County! We try not
to duplicate what you can find elsewhere with
a link.
Excellent site!
Contact them if
you need monuments restored or replaced.
They also do a vast amount of War Memorials.
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!
