    3. Yes there is definitely a connection. James McIntosh was my husband's 2nd great grand uncle. I have him married to Katherine Fugate. Then Nimrod who was born somewhere between 1820 and 1824. Now I have him with a Nancy (no last name). Then comes Ora/Ira who was born 1852. This is where I end with Ora/Ira. May I use the information you have sent me to continue my husband's tree. His line is Peter, Samuel, Wm "Banger", Benjamin, Sam, and then Lenton. The connection is all the way back to Peter. Samuel was James brother. May our precious Lord always bless you.

    2. Hi Shelby, I think Ron would make a GREAT Director. Even though he is from out of state also, he is verrry Kentucky knowledgeable and willing to help anyone that walks in the KHS. I think he's a wonderful choice. I have worked with him many times went I was employed at the KHS last year. He knows his stuff, but he would tell others I was the microfilm room expert. I was so flattered!! He is really a very nice man. He would be perfect. But I thought this was a hired-in position. I know they were taking applications when this last man was hired. I just wished I was better at composing professional letters.

    1. [KYBREATH-L] Kentucky Historical Society
    2. Shelby Williams
    3. If, you have not already heard the news, the Kentucky Historical Society is again looking for a new director. As a member of the historical society, and a patron who spends several hours at the facility each week, I'm concerned with the direction the society seems to be taking. A couple of years ago the historical society moved into a new facility which ranks at the top or very near the top of the finest research facilities in the country. Unfortunately, since the move to the new building it appears as though our membership has dropped! In the time that I have been using the library, never once have I seen any mention of the Kentucky Historical Society, its library, or the many services that are provided in ANY of the genealogical magazines that I have and do continue to subscribe too. I have attended conferences, and seminars outside the state in which we should at the very least be represented by a speaker! It seems for whatever reason we are a very well kept secret! Interest in our society needs to be revived! It seems as though the time has come for a director who wants the society to grow and expand. I for one would like to see not only the first floor of the library stack area filled with books, but also the addition of a second floor! The last director was brought in from out of state, which to me doesn't make a lot of sense. It is time that the director of the historical society is a Kentuckian, with knowledge of the history of the state, a vast knowledge of the genealogical holdings within the state, the ability to understand the needs of genealogical, and historical researchers, and the ability to work with our state legislature for the benefit of the society. I wish to nominate Mr. Ron D. Bryant as the new director of the Kentucky Historical Society. Ron D. Bryant not only has seventeen years of experience with the library, is a ninth generation Kentuckian, but is also extremely knowledgeable of the history and genealogical holdings in Kentucky. He is a noted librarian and lecturer on Kentucky, having written over eighty articles, and is the author of Kentucky History - An Annotated Bibliography published in 2000. If Ron D. Bryant becomes director of the historical society, he has stated that he will continue to help patrons with their research in the library. He believes that the director needs to be aware of the patrons needs, and that we must increase our membership. As I mentioned above, I wish to nominate Ron D. Bryant for this position, but I can't do so with your help. If, you agree with me, please send letters to the following gentlemen advising them to name Ron D. Bryant Director of the Kentucky Historical Society: Selection Committee c/o Mr. Walter Baker 917 S. Green Street Glasgow, KY 42141-2086 Selection Committee c/o Mr. Richard L. Taylor 335 Holt Lane Frankfort, KY 40601 Selection Committee c/o Mr. Thomas D. Clark 175 Kentucky Ave. Lexington, KY 40502 Many thanks for your help. Shelby A. Williams
