Regarding your 4/18 listing to KYBATH: Can you tell me anything about the picture of the Richard Johnson Family? I've been trying to find out what happened to my g-g-grandfather, Richard M. JOHNSON, b. 1823 Montgomery Co KY (not the VP). Is the picture of an 84 year old? The last evidence of him I have is from the 1870 Montgomery Co Census. Thank you, ...Bob Maddox

Looking for information about family and parentage of Alexander RAMSAY b.ca.1754 in PA? d. 1 Jan 1807 in Fleming County, KY. Captain in Rev War in PA line, maybe settled in Huntingdon County, PA, after war. Married in Penn. and had a son named Archibald. After first wife died, left Archibald in PA with a grandfather and moved to KY ca. 1795. Married Mary "Polly" WILLS in Bourbon County, KY in 1795. I am descended from their first son William Burke RAMSAY, b. 1795 at Mason County, KY, and d. 1876 in Putnam County, IN. William married Elizabeth McANULTY in 1820 in KY and they moved to Portland Mills, IN, ca. 1826. Archibald RAMSAY eventually settled in Nicholas County, KY, ca. 1812 and died ca. 1824. However, there is a will listed for an Archibald Ramsay in Bath Co. in 1823 and may be the same guy. I would like to get a copy of that will and find out more about him if he was in Bath Co. around that time. I have looked at the LDS IGI in depth and have that info. I have plenty of info on William Burke RAMSAY as well. Any suggestions? Alice Ramsay Lombard, IL [ "If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want." ]

I was asked by a subscriber to put links up for my website as there is some useful cemetery info available. <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/haybarber/AKBS.html">A KENTUCKY BARBER'S SHOP</A> <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/haybarber/CAVERUNRELO.html">CAVE RUN RELO.</A > <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/HayBarber/FlemngCoCems.html">FLEMING COUNTY CEMETERIES</A> Will be glad to help if I can.

I need your help! I will be coming to Bath county this summer and was wondering if some of you could help me plan my research. What are the hours for the library and courthouse and what type of information do they have? Any other places I should visit? My relatives lived in the Bath, Bourbon, Montgomery County area back in 1790-1825. Thank you so much for any hints to further my research. Judy Shaw Plano, Texas HARMON JACKSON McDOWELL BRINSON

I found this link and was so thrilled by it knowing a lot of our ancestors went that way and died there. Hope it will be approperate to share it with other researchers. It is indexed so there is no need to spend a lot of time searching. <A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/Sciotocounty/">http://members.xoom.com/Sciot ocounty/</A>

I have been warned by an unknown person to stop making these photocopies of the pictures in my book, or I could be sued.. Someone is monitoring our list and that is enough to stop me from making further infringements on the copyright.. I would appreciate any comments sent to me privately..too bad a random act of genealogical kindness is a problem, but I feel I can't take the risk of this person reporting me..
