If you suspect that some of your early Kentucky ancestors may have lived in Louisa Co., VA [which was formed 1742 from Hanover Co., VA, a burned county], you may want to look over the index to these abstracts which appear online at _http://www.trevilians.com/jlaref/jlaindex.htm_ (http://www.trevilians.com/jlaref/jlaindex.htm) However, in order to see other abstracts of Louisa Co., cut off the phrases after the com/ in the URL. I do need to warn you, however, that abstracts of the earliest records of Louisa do not seem to appear on this database. I advise those seeking to find earlier abstracts of records to take a look at the website of Mrs. Rosalie Edith Davis. I have used her books for years and have found many clues to some of my people who were later in Madison Co., KY. Here is Mrs. Davis's URL. Her books are VERY inexpensive, considering how much most genealogical books cost these days. If you order them [or any of them] and find they do not contain material concerning your ancestors, I recommend donating them to a genealogical library or a society near your home. I don't know how long these self-published books will be available. They were compiled in the 1970s. _http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/_ (http://www.angelfire.com/va3/redavis/) By the way, when a URL appears in rootsweb messages, frequently the URL is surrounded by punctuation marks. Remove those before pasting. E.W.Wallace **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
