    3. Hi Helen.... You must be using AAI CD #2. On that CD the marriages under Knott Co KY, are actually Webster County marriages. I discovered that shortly after I bought the CD and found *two* of my direct line ancestors from Webster County listed as marrying in "Knott County", which is in far eastern KY. It's hard to make a comparison with the Webster County Marriages 1860-1900 book, which was published by the Hopkins Co G&H Society, because that book lists the marriages in chronological order and the CD lists them in alphabetical order. But I believe *all* the marriages listed under Knott County are actually Webster County marriages. Just an added challenge to those of us who are already about as confused as one can get. <grin> Seriously, we need to spread the word about this mix-up because there are new researchers coming online every day. I have posted it on KYRoots several times in the past but I guess it should be done on a regular basis. And pity the poor Knott County researchers - goodness only knows where they'll find the marriages they are looking for. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
