FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Church membership of early Kentuckians include Baptist,
Church of Christ, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist,
Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic. Some church records
were published, others were microfilmed, some are housed
in church repositories, but many remain in the local
church. Church records and histories may be found in
periodicals pertaining to Kentucky. Repositories include
the DAR Library, the FHL, Kentucky Historical Society,
University of Kentucky Library, and Filson Club Library.
The original Shane Manuscript Collection, which pertains
to Kentucky Presbyterians, is housed at Presbyterian
Historical Society, 425 Lombard Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19147. It has been microfilmed and is
available at other libraries.
See also Kentucky Bible Records, 6 vols., from files of
the Genealogical Records Committee, Kentucky Society of
Daughters of the American Revolution. Each volume is
individually indexed. Most entries include only name,
date, and name and address of the owner of the Bible at
the time of publication. These are available at the
Kentucky Historical Society. Local genealogical groups
publish Kentucky Bible records in genealogical
publications such as Bluegrass Roots, and Kentucky
Ancestors.
