How to Turn Marginal Genealogy into Real Genealogy #kentuckypioneerscom #kygenealogy #kyancestors #kywills

How to Turn Marginal Genealogy into Real Genealogy 

As we continue our research, we find ourselves jotting down tidbits of information, thinking that it might be useful later. And it is, as more data reaches our computer. But what kind tidbits are most important? Witnesses to deeds and adjoining properties; every name in the old part of the cemetery, especially those adjoining your family plots. Names in the same district as your ancestor written down according to the order of the entries, along with such details as acreage, adjoining neighbors and waters. Purchasers of estate sales as some of these people married the daughters (examine these names in the county marriage records). Remarkably, all of these people were the old neighborhood! You will be amazed at how this information provides a better understand of the life and times of your ancestors, plus makes all the puzzle parts fit. Images of Ohio Co. KY Wills

Our Ancestors were Mighty and Brave #kentuckypioneerscom #kyancestors #kywills #kyestates #kygenealogy

Our Ancestors were Mighty and Brave

The bravest soldiers and settlers of past eras did not necessarily make the history books. But perhaps it is time that they did. The value of family stories lies in the lifespan of those who ventured to America when it was a wild country, built homes and communities, fought in the wars and opened the door for the establishment of the U. S. Constitution. As the researcher assembles the genealogies and history involved, he realizes that his ancestors were not whimps! Rather, they were mighty brave! The genealogist meticulously gathers data and substantiates it with actual documents. In the process, they learn interesting details concerning the times....things that have never been written about by so-called historians. For, you see, the old documents, such as wills and estates, burials, land grants, battles, etc. which tell the real story. If but a few of the researchers assembled and published the exciting events which surrounded their families, we would have some great reading!

Magazines and Periodicals for Kentucky #kentuckypioneerscom #kygenealogy #kymagazines #kyancestors #kywills

Magazines and Periodicals for Kentucky
By Jeannette Holland Austin

The first magazine issued in Kentucky or the West was The Medley, or Monthly Miscellany for the year 1803, edited and published by Daniel Bradford, son of old John Bradford, the editor of The Kentucky Gazette. The Medley lived through the year of 1803, but in January of 1804, Editor Bradford announced that he was compelled (from lack of appreciation) to abandon its publication. The twelve parts were bound for those of the subscribers who cared to have them made into a single volume, and probably not more than two copies are extant to-day. more....Kentucky Genealogy ----
