I've made an "executive decision" this morning! In social media, Thursday is always called "Throwback Thursday" - whoever came up with that term! People post pictures of themselves or their family from the past. Well, I'm going to make Thursday "Teaching Thursday" on both the SCKY and KYBARREN lists. I've found through the years that many of you are really good at reading census records, marriage records, etc. but are missing things on your family searching because of not knowing a lot of the why's and how's and where's. I've already started the posts on what records are kept in KY and will finish that soon. One thing that researchers look at are these land grant records I've been publishing. But, do you all know what a land grant is? Who qualified for them? What steps had to be taken in order to occupy the land? Those of you have copies of my land grant series to daTE, will find the full explanation in the preface to the books so don't have to take notes. But, for the rest of you, I want to take you step-by-step through the process and what all was involved. I will use as my source the explanation given by Kandi Atkinson, formerly of the KY Secretary of State's Office, Land Department. I will also be calling on Bill Utterback who is on these lists, to toss in any comments he would like - further explanations, clarifications, etc. He is an expert in the land records in Kentucky and teaches classes on it. It is a complicated process and I won't go back to prior Kentucky days except to touch on Virginia, our "father" state. At the end of this series, I might toss out a quiz for you which you can return to me as a Word document. I think a lot of this will make a lot more sense to you. This will not be a repeat of anything I've posted on the KYRESEARCH list although I have talked about how people acquired land in less depth there. I hope you will enjoy this series and learn from it - then, if there is interest, I'll move on to another topic. So - tomorrow is Teaching Thursday and any comments are welcome along the way - either to the list or to me personally. See you tomorrow!

While everyone was shooting off fireworks and enjoying a picnic, I kept busy. As you know I am working on a series of books on the land grants in south central Kentucky. I finished two more, with the final one coming soon - on Warren Co. Note that these aren't just military land grants - they are all the grants. The information below is for Cumberland County and Green County. All the counties I'm researching tie in together and you will likely find one of your ancestors dipping his toes in a creek in one county and find him later in another county as the State divided up the counties. Much can be learned from these grants - families that all chose land close to each other in the same time frame; two men who went in together to get land ... so many familiar names. Here's the information: Cumberland County Land Grants 1799-1923. Third in a series of books exploring the land grants in south central Kentucky. Following the same format at the first two volumes, this book contains 2,957 grants during the time period shown. Included also are definitions, steps for obtaining a land grant, corrections to other lists and a list of the major waterways in the county. 64 pages plus approximately 20 pages of supplemental information. Not indexed; book is self-indexing. Green County, KY Land Grants. The most critical of counties for south central Kentucky research, Green County was formed in 1793 from Lincoln and Nelson Counties. It is the parent or grandparent of many other counties and many of the names found there will later appear in other counties in the area. Approximately 1,400 land grants are listed. This book follows the pattern of the other books in this series and also includes progressive maps as other counties are split off. 31 pages plus many pages of additional information. Self-indexing.

I'm making a few days worth of posts to both lists; I will be seeking additional information to post next week. Most of the lists seems to be working now, however the KYBIOGRAPHIES lists will not post yet; hopefully that will be solved today. One of the questions I'm asked often is that which appears in the subject line - who has what and where? I am not talking here of local resources kept at the County Clerk's office or Circuit Clerk's office. So for a couple of posts or so, I'll try to help you out! KENTUCKY HISTORICAL SOCIETY & LIBRARY. This is located in Frankfort, KY; you can become a member which entitles you to a year's subscription to the Kentucky Historical Register, Kentucky Ancestors and newsletters called the Bulletin. The library has a collection of over 50,000 volumes with thousands of family histories and privately owned genealogies. It has a large surname file collection, query card file, BIble records, church records, newspapers, maps, manuscripts and journals published by other societies.

They also have a photographic archives, a rare book room, records of the emetery Records project, vital statistics card index, tax lists and more. Their website is: http://history.ky.gov/.

Box 537, 300 Coffee Tree Road, Frankfort 40601-05i37. This is also known as the KY Department of Libraries and Archives (KDLA), Public Records Division. I love this place!!! This is the repository for the state's permanent public records. It houses original and microfilmed records which include city, county, state and judicial. Thereis an area about 86,000 cubic feet of original records and 22,000 rolls of microfilm. They have the Draper Manuscripts, some genealogical collections, some early newspapers and historic maps. All the county court records microfilmed by the Mormon Church in the 1960's are available here. Counties in KY send original documents that the county cannot continue to retain here. All census records are available, the 1840 census of Revolutionary War pensioners, and extensive military records. The Adjutant Generals' records are to be found here. Check http://www.kdla.ky.gov/ for hours and more information. The staff here is outstanding and helpful. You can call for the original documents; photocopying is available. KENTUCKY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, P. O. Box 153, 300 Coffee Tree Road, Frankfort 40602. Their society publishes a quarterly titled "Bluegrass Roots." The society's holdings are in the Archives Researach Room of the KDLA above. Housed there are family files, group sheets from the KY Family Archives Group. The website (I believe this is still active) is http://www.kygs.org/ Next time we'll look at the military records available; they are extensive.

Scratch the first day on a disaater in Metcalfe Co in the 1850's. It wasn't formed yet. My source data had a typo and I didn't catch it. In most instances, there was not a "backup" location for the documents destroyed. Some records have been reconstructed partially; some few records survived. But, in many instances the information was gone.
