For a wonderful, well-organized list of formation dates of Kentucky counties, go to: <A HREF="http://moon.ouhsc.edu/rbonner/census/kycounty.htm">http://moon.ouhsc .edu/rbonner/census/kycounty.htm</A> Not only are the county formation dates there, but also dates of courthouse fires or floods, and accounts of which records were destroyed. Took seven pages to print, but the entire web page saved very nicely on my hard drive. Linda Koenig Louisville, KY
