Comment by Jen Bawden on November 3, 2009 at 11:09am: Hope everyone's doing well. I'm headed to Kentucky Archives next Friday as well as Estill County. Going to be up there 5 days. Hopefully I can find some good stuff to bring home. Anyone need pictures from graveyards?

Comment by Jen Bawden on August 5, 2009 at 12:39pm: If it were only that lucky! There's a few that have still got me stumped. Maybe I can use the cane as a divining rod?

The trip got postponed, but we're going next week. I'm retaking some photos, but mainly to go to places unknown.

Comment by Jen Bawden on August 4, 2009 at 10:31am: Let me know if you can't create a discussion for your own family surnames. This isn't just for a few people. This is for all people with Estill County roots. :)

Comment by Ken Jones on August 3, 2009 at 8:17pm: Knowing your luck Jen when your cane sinks into a grave you'll look at the stone and scream "So this is where your buried !!". Are you hitting some known places or looking for the unknown when you go ?

Comment by Jen Bawden on August 2, 2009 at 3:09pm: Ever notice how genealogy is like playing Go Fish?

Comment by Jen Bawden on July 30, 2009 at 5:24pm: Headed up to Kentucky in two weeks for a cemetery trip - Some of Madison County, some of Lee, some of Owsley, some of Jackson, but mainly Estill County south of the river. Let's hope my cane doesn't sink down in a grave and I tip over!! :D
