Does anyone know how long it takes to get land records from KY Land Office? I ordered some records for the Whites in Casey-Lincoln Co. KY about 1 1/2 months ago. I used the form that is at the KY Land Office website. It said not to send money at that time. They would send a voucher with documents. George Washington White was b. May of 1817. On Sept. 6, 1824, he was indentured to Elijah Webster. Supposedly, Elijah Webster d. in Mercer Co. KY in 1826. Would George Washington White have been indentured to someone else upon the death of Elijah? Would he have stayed within Elijah Webster's family lines---and worked. George Washington White was about 9 years old when Elijah Webster died. Would he have been sent to live with Dungan family in Pulaski or Mercer Co. KY? These are rather odd questions to ask. I guess all of this is possiblity. I thought someone might be a real history buff on this list--and familiar with how these indentures worked. George's indenture was until he was 21. The next appearance of George Washington White is in 1846 in Owen Co. IN when he married Lucy Ann Baker. George's next appearance is in Robinson, Crawford Co. IL, when he married Sarah Meloni Turner. Harrodsburg-Mercer Research Library only had the one indenture--and that was for my George Washington White. How lucky was I on that one!!!! Would Casey Co. Genealogical Society have indentures for the 6 siblings of George Washington White (Andrew, Nathan, William, John, Eson, and Ely). James White was excluded for being bound out in his father's will. Eson/Eason/Esam may have went to live with the Coulters. He m. Cyrena Coulter---and lived and died in Casey and Lincoln Co. KY. Eson shows as spelling in George White will of Jan. 19, 1824. George d. 17 Feb 1824. Sorry, I know I have repeated myself on this many times. It just boggles my mind that there were 15 children---and I am the only one looking for them. I have discovered that many of the families moved between censuses. The Rouseys moved to Putnam and Jennings Co. IN and were back in KY by 1880 census. Same goes for my Reynolds line out of Hart and Taylor Co. KY. Now, about the Coleman comments. I guess some people are in this for the history lessons and fun. I have many, many documents that I have sent to people. They still insert something else or get the dates wrong at family trees at rootsweb. Many people, who wrote books, are no longer with us. With all the new technology that is available now, this generation of researchers are finding new info on their families all the time. I recently contacted a very well known White family authority. I told him that I would be happy to send him a document showing that Reuben White could not have married Nancy Hines. Reuben d. in 1818 in Dallas Co. ALA. There is no way he had children born in 1820 forward. This gentleman, basically, told me that I was really interferring with a lot of people's research. He elected to leave his family tree as is. That is ok with me, but it would be nice if he would put some kind of explanation with it. Some people just do not want to believe that great-great grandfather may have had more than one family. So, I guess it is up to us to do the research. I have decided to stop sending people documents. I do keep in touch with 3 or 4 others---and we exchange documents. I appreciate those who have sent me info and copies of things. I admit to doing a lot of post-ems at rootsweb, some longer than they should be. I get some very nasty e-mails at my home. I will refrain from doing post-ems in the future. Some people just can't afford to spend money to find documents. At times, I can't. Some people will let others do all the work. I am so appreciative of those on this list. So many do their homework. I just don't know what to do about those that put family trees at rootsweb---then when challenged a little bit---they get so upset about it. So far, I have not seen that here. Thanks to the gentleman who put the Coleman info on. I don't know if they fit in with my White line, but it is great to have the information. I keep telling myself that I am giving up on proving the parents of Good Old George White (m. Eunice Dungan---and likely Jane E. Lewis). There is something that drives me to keep going on with George. Thanks, Shari

Shari, Try this link http://www.raogk.org to find someone who will look up the info for you. Their only request is you pass on the kindness. I've been with them for several years and have had people from all over the world look up family info for me. And I do the same for people seeking info in my area. Hope this helps. Vicki
