I agree with you ladies - we think because we are talking to a county host that they live a couple blocks from the court house, take the hometown newspaper, and pass the library everyday.... I'm guilty guilty ---. When I was the coordinator of Indiana - one lady laughed so hard cause I thought she lived in her county and she was from Ohio... Our Henderson host lives in Florida... and I bet he's laughing at us! I have two Kentucky counties and don't live in either -- but I was born in Trigg.... I guess it is where your love of home is --.... by the way -- On newspaper abs --- Would anyone like for me to put up the assisnation of the Gov. of Ky in 1900? I have it in a document and it was quite a mess --.... -----Original Message----- From: cpalmer@ix.netcom.com <cpalmer@ix.netcom.com> To: KYHENDER-L@rootsweb.com <KYHENDER-L@rootsweb.com> Cc: troutman@interquest.de <troutman@interquest.de> Date: Friday, February 20, 1998 2:19 PM Subject: Re: GUDGEL(L) surname >Hi Maria.... > >>Goodness, where in Webster Co, are you at.
