Kentucky Genealogy Has Its Own Website
If you are from Kentucky and are very interested in your family history, then you are indeed very lucky. Kentucky genealogy has its own personal website. The state of Kentucky has been developing a genealogical and historical site for all Kentuckians. It was originally developed to provide a resource for finding genealogy and historical data concerning Kentucky on the web, but the powers to be decided to add specific data so that individual Kentuckians can use this site for their personal Kentucky genealogy use. This is a very friendly and patriotic thing for Kentucky to do for its residents.
The Sites
The Kentucky genealogy website begins with county websites. At present, not all counties are accounted for, but the wealth of Kentucky genealogical information on these websites is phenomenal. Kentucky’s other counties are currently developing genealogies to be added to this site. Some of the links to other sites for personal Kentucky genealogy are the Kentucky Archives, Kentucky Bible Records, Kentucky Cemeteries Records, Kentucky Census Records, Kentucky Directories, Kentucky Land and Maps, Kentucky Mailing Lists and Kentucky Obituaries. This is by no means the total list of sites that the people of Kentucky can go to when looking for their own Kentucky genealogies. Because of the way Kentucky has handled their genealogy, other states are following suit. We all want to know who our ancestors were and how we ended up where we are today and our statesmen are coming forth and trying to help us locate our former family members.
Daniel Boone And Colonel Sanders
An interesting fact in Kentucky genealogy is that when searching the census records, many Kentuckians found that they were related to Daniel Boone. Evidently Daniel Boone had more than one wife and a girl or two on the side. This also does not account for his Indian women friends. The Kentucky Bible Records and the Kentucky Census Records all detail this information. When the Kentucky genealogy instates a Kentucky DNA data bank, it will be very interesting to see how many of his ancestors really are direct descendents of Ole’ Daniel. Another surprise was the famous Colonel Sanders of fried chicken fame. This Colonel was quite a swinger and had many children and grand children and great grand children who are now arguing in court and trying to win his inheritance. The Kentucky genealogy DNA data bank will come in very handy for this complex problem. By the time the Kentucky government sorts out all of this mess, there won’t be enough of the Colonel’s money to go around. They should probably rename the website to Colonel Sanders and His Kentucky Genealogy.
