Since taking on this project to document the early families of Bourbon County (1775-1820), I have noticed something very interesting. I believe what is being created on this web page is the largest collection of Bourbon County, Kentucky, genealogies on the internet! For the first time, researchers can access (and contribute to) material on the many families that came to this region during its formative period. I have received some GREAT information from fellow researchers (too many to mention here) who have generously volunteered their data. The result has been a mountain of material that will keep me busy for several months. I encourage anyone interested in this period to step forward with their data in the form of gedcoms, genealogy reports, original source material, etc. I believe that we are creating a repository of information never before found on the internet. For those just joining our group and unfamiliar with the Early Bourbon County web page, it can be accessed at: http://www.shawhan.com/bourbonfamilies.html Also, it is important to remind folks what is the intent of the web page. It is an extension of a project that I have been working on for some time now. I have set aside a year (from June 1999 to June 2000) to collect information on the early families of Bourbon County, Kentucky, who settled into this region between 1775-1820. Once the data is collected, I will spend the next six months compiling a book or books (it looks like several volumes at this juncture) documenting the history and genealogy of these families. I will be the "editor" of the work and will give full credit to all who contribute their materials. I encourage everyone interested in early Bourbon County history and genealogy to become involved in this project. Together we can create something valuable for present and future generations of researchers. Thanks, ------ Bob Francis 1920A Butner St. Ft.
