This is a follow-up to my Oct. 8 post about the Kentucky Inn, in Owesboro, and Court Records. On my Blog, this morning, I have posted a series about the death of my Maternal Grandfather William Jennings Wells: It includes a wonderful photo from the 1930's, the newspaper coverage of his death, and its aftermath, the memories of my Uncle Paul ( He was 4 years old at the time ), and my list of questions about the death, its aftermath, the death certificate, and the newspaper coverage. It encompasses 4 posts, so just follow the links at the end of the 1st 3: http://www.sneakeasysjoint.com/sneakeasy/2005/10/the_strange_dea.html -- MR.

My Paternal Grandfather was struck & killed by a hit-run truck while walking along Highway 60 one mile west of Owensboro about 8:45 pm Thursday, July 8th, 1937. The accused was quoted as saying the lights on his truck snapped off after he left home, near the death scene, & that he drove to the Kentucky Inn ( 200 yards away ) & turned back toward his home, on Highway 60, by the road that passes to the south of the Inn. Granpappy's 1 claim to fame, in Life, is the front page photo of his Blanket covered body in the July 9 Owensboro Messenger. ;-D His story was in the paper all summer, then disappeared, and there is a mystery surrounding the whole situation, and its aftermath. The Kentucky Inn is gone, I think, but I'd like to know how I can learn more about it, and where, exactly it was located during its existence. Also, any suggestions for locating old police, and especially court, records such as Coroner's Jury, Grand Jury, and Quarterly Court, Records if they exist? -- MR.

Doris, On the 1920 and 1930 census there is usually an address for each record. Sometimes it runs along the left side of the page. Try that to see if the two homes are located at the same place.

I would like to know if the Parental Home & School in Louisville became the Louisville & Jefferson County Children's Home during the 1920's. I believe that I have found my grandmother in the 1920 Federal Census. She is listed as an inmate at the Parental Home & School for Children in the Anchorage Precinct of Louisville. I remember her telling stories of being placed in an orphanage when her mother died. I have tried to search for the Parental Home & School, but have found no other references to it. The Louisville & Jefferson County Children's Home is listed as being in the Anchorage Precinct for the 1930 Census, but there is no listing for the Parental Home & School. Thank you in advance for any help! Doris L. Bell

Thanks Patricia for posting that! I've got so many Kentuckiana mysteries preventing me from going back beyond 1900 it ain't even funny so fine-tuning a google search might help out. ;-D With my new Family Tree Maker I got a years free subscription to Ancestry and my 1st day of searching only gave me more to ponder. ;-D -- MR.

SEARCH ENGINE TIPS by Mike Jarvis As genealogists in today's high-tech world, the importance of using search engines properly is ever increasing. With genealogy related web sites making up a huge part of our World Wide Web, we would like to share some search engine tips that perhaps a few you will find helpful. There is much that could be written about this, but we will focus only on a few tips that we find most helpful. We use [ and ] to indicate terms that would be written in a search box. First - The use of quotation marks. When using a combination of words in the search box, the search engine results will include every web page where these words occur anywhere on that page regardless of whether these words are immediately next to each other. Using the search term of [family history ] will result in 109,000,000 hits while ["family history"] within quotations will result in 5,400,000 hits. This is because in the second instance it is only finding pages were the words are actually next to or immediately touching each other. Try this with a family name. For example my grandmother is named Flora MacDonald. If I search [Flora McDonald ] in Google it returns 251,000 hits. Putting ["Flora MacDonald"] in quotations results in 29,600 hits. This is far too many hits and primarily relate to a prominent woman in Scottish and American history. This is not my grandmother. However, knowing that my grandmothers middle name was Hermosa, it makes sense to put ["Flora Hermosa MacDonald"] in the search box and I get two hits related specifically to my grandmother. Success! Second - The use of the minus sign. This is my second favorite search tip. Using any combination of words in a search box with the minus sign directly next to a word that you DO NOT want to find is also helpful. Using the search term ["Flora MacDonald" -Scotland -Scottish -"North Carolina" -NC ] will eliminate any pages from my search that includes the words next to the minus sign. So I will get only those pages that have my grandmother's name and do not have Scotland or North Carolina on the site. This effectively reduces the number of sites by more than half, from 29,600 to 12,800 hits. Using quotation marks and the minus sign in combination greatly improves your search results. Third - The use of the plus sign. The plus sign has the effect of instructing the search engine to give special emphasis to any word where the plus sign is against it. My grandmother's father was Alexander MacDonald. However, not the Alexander MacDonald who was prime minister of Canada. Using the search term [Flora MacDonald -Scotland -Scottish -"North Carolina" -NC +"Alexander MacDonald" -Canada ] gives me 1 hit that directs me to a site about my grandmother. Here we have combined quotation marks with the minus sign and the plus sign Fourth - The site search. Let's say that I would like to find Alexander MacDonald, however, I only want to search a particular domain. I would simply use the search phrase ["Alexander MacDonald" site:rootsweb.com ]. Rather than thousands of hits I get 204. Similarly, you could put a minus sign in front of rootsweb.com so that it searches all domains except Rootsweb. Fifth - The intitle search term. Suppose that you would like to find every site on the Web with the word genealogy in the title. The search box would need the term [intitle:genealogy ], which would result in 943,000 hits. Similarly, use the term [intitle:genealogy -site:ancestry.com ] and you eliminate 3000 sites related to ancestry.com. One more: try using the term [intitle:genealogy -site:com ] which will have the effect of eliminating all domains with the.com extension (commercial sites). Sixth - The related search term: If you like to know which sites are similar to your own then use the term as follows: [related:USGenWeb.org]. Results will vary with Google providing 31 similar sites and Yahoo serving up 35,000 related sites. Nearly all of these terms will work in most search engines. If you'd rather not type in the shorthand for many of these tips, the search engines will typically have an advanced search page which will do essentially the same thing. Try: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en Good hunting!

You might have better luck by trying the KVRP site, Kentucky Vital Records Project. This is an all-volunteer group which is transcribing the old certificates (some of which aren't in KDI) and putting them online with the images attached. Also shown are the images of the original KDI. The site is being remodeled at the moment, so if you can't get on immediately, try again a little later. _Kentucky Vital Records Project_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp/) <_http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp/>_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp/>) If you are having trouble reading some of the less-than-perfect areas that show up on these things (or other documents you have), you're welcome to join the group at _DECIPHER-L@Rootsweb.com_ (mailto:DECIPHER-L@Rootsweb.com) You are welcome whether you decide to help decipher old certificates or just watch the fun. Be prepared for a fair amount of mail, though. Due to other considerations, the list isn't available in digest mode. If you'd like to know more about either area, I'd love to hear from you.

Looking for information on Solomon Osbourn (Osborn, Osborne) lived on L & E Junction Rd (at the time of his death probably known as K&E Junction road). Born 25 March 1822, died 12 February 1888 at K.U. Junction which was located a mile or so nw on L&E Junction RD from the intersection of Hedges Station Rd. He married Margaret Elizabeth Hedges, the daughter of Preston Hedges who operated Hedges Station on the railroad. Solomon is my great, grandfather and I would like to know his burial site. Margaret Elizabeth and all of the children moved to Missouri and are buried there. Any and all help will be appreciated. I am a S. A. R. member through Margaret and Preston Hedges. I will be glade to share all the information I have on ancestors and siblings families (Elkin, Wall, Cottman, White, Richardson, Fisher, Burgher, Poer, Vice, Lenox etc.) Claude J Osbourne (E added to Osbourn by my Mother) bao7@juno.com

There are a lot of us that can get them from 1911-1953, so if you look on the death certificate site you will see a lot of us do it for differnet prices, mine is $1.00 and a SASE.
