Bill and everyone, The reason I don't add the entire Kentucky and Indiana Border counties is because the people who settled or moved through *this* area didn't go into the areas south (near Evansville) or North (near Cincy). (some, maybe, but not many). Another reason is because....it's my site. This mailing list is a spin-off of a web site for *this* Kentuckiana area....not Evansville, not Cincy, not even Carroll Co., KY...I will add counties as my visitors *request* this...and as I feel there is a genuine need to. The area Kentuckiana Genealogy covers is an area that was very connected. People moved back and forth from one county to another, sometimes without actually moving. In no way am I deceiving anyone. If you have been to the Kentuckiana Genealogy website, you will have noticed that right at the top of the main page I list all counties covered by this site, and this mailing list. You're the first to mention Carrol Co., KY..... If you don't like the counties covered...or feel that others should be added...my suggestion is that you *request* that a specific county be covered. When I feel the need is there, it will probably be added. The name I have given my site, I feel, is a very good name....I don't think: Breckinridge, Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Floyd, Hardin, Harrison, Jefferson, Jefferson, Orange, Meade, Perry, Scott and Washington in Indiana and Kentucky or South-Central Indiana-North Central Kentucky (small section in the center) Would be very wise choices..... ;-) Thanks you for your input...but Kentuckiana is staying the way it is for now! :-) My suggestion to you is to check out the Kentuckiana Genealogy site. Then you would get a better understanding of what we're all about and why we only cover the counties we do.
