Betty Jo, so sorry your husband and mother aren't well. Wish I lived in Kentucky or had a trip planned to that area so I could help you out! We've tracked my husband's family through Missouri and know they go back to Kentucky, but haven't gotten in too deep there yet. You can try contacting the local historical society. When I needed some documentation for my DAR application, for a small donation I was able to get current photos of an ancestors gravestone sent to me from the historical society. One generalization you can make about historical societies: They have wonderful staff and volunteers. Or a local genealogy club member might take on the job.

I am very interested in the Shaker religious society at Pleasant Hill, near Harrodsburg, KY and will do lookups in my GONE TO THE WORLD book, by Marc Rhorer for anyone wanting to see if an ancestor was a member of the Shakers. My own lines were the first to join the society in 1805, Banta and Montfort, in particular. I have a group dedicated to both THE SHAKER RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF KENTUCKY and another to the DUTCH COUSINS IN KENTUCKY. Have had over 50 years of researching and glad to help others if they are part of the Low Dutch Colony that came to KY starting in 1780 or suspect a family member might have been a Shaker.

I'm looking for any information on Henry and Mahala Miller. They lived in Lebanon, KY in 1880. They had 4 daughters, Mollie (8), Jane (7), Ida (6) and Annie (2). On the 1880 census Henry was 29 and Mahala was 35. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have information Mason County, KY? Looking for information on CORD surname. I think I found him and his parents in the 1860 census Fleming CO, and 1870 in Nicholas KY. Would like to find out more about his parents and siblings

Anyone researching or living in the Russell County area? I'll be going there in about 3 weeks and would love to talk with someone who can give me some ideas on the best use of my time.

Looking for someone that will take pictures of some tombstones at the Stephens/Stevens Cemetery in Carter County,, KY. (Been told it is also called Clifty Acres). We are able to travel at present time due to my mother and husband's health.
