Heritage Quest has added new census indexes for the 1860 and 1920 census. This is in addition to the 1810, 1820, 1870 and 1910 indexes already online. These are exact spelling, head of household indexes which are linked to the census images. The images are enhanced so they are usually much better than the microfilm. Besides the census, Heritage Quest has a genealogy library of over 25,00 books, scanned, searchable, and downloadable to your computer. Plus, the Sanborn Insurance Maps for Kentucky (1867-1970) are online. You can use Heritage Quest at the KHS Library or, if you are a member of the Kentucky Historical Society, you can get a password to use from your home computer. You do not have to be a resident of Kentucky to join. The cost of membership is $35 or $25 for seniors and you can join online.

I have an email to go off to the list reguarding look ups I do, but I wanted to send it to the lists owners first before sending it to the lists, since there always seems to be someone on the lists that objects for one reason or another. I don't know the list owners of all the lists that's why I'm contacting this way. Thanks Brenda

Does anyone know anything about this church. My great-grandparents, Almida Boots and Mary Langford were married there in 1887. I am wondering if the church is still there or if anyone knows if there could possibly be any records from the church.

Believe he was called Matt. James M. married Susan E. McMichaels 9 January 1857 in Anderson, Ky They had three children, Sarah, b. abt 1858, William P., b. abt. 1859, and Bessie M, b. 1877. There may also have been other children. Susan was the daughter of John McMichael, b. 1812 and Susan, b. 1815. James M. Book was my gr gr grandfather. He was a musician, and he and his brother, William performed on the showboats for a time. I am not sure how long. Family lore has it that he was also a gambler. He was probably both. I just can't find him after 1870. Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.
