My friends - Some months ago, I offered a file which contained the enumerations made in the 1850 Slave Census, for McCracken County. There was a considerable amount of interest in this file at that time, and I have now placed it online for the use of our subscribers and others. The file can be found here: www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/McCrackenSlaveCen1850.htm I intend to place other slave census records online as time permits. I have received a number of inquiries from some of our subscribers, inquiring about my well being and the fact that my postings have been far fewer than normal in the past few months. I appreciate very much the good wishes of these folks, and I can report that all is well here. I have been absolutely inundated with work related to the recent move which my wife and I made to a new residence here. I decided - after 39 years of research - that my files *must* be reorganized into something that is usable by others, in the event that, at some future point, a bolt of lightning or other event causes me to "depart this life", as the old documents often stated. I am renewing my acquaintance with correspondence which I had with others back in the early 1960's. Since many of the senior people with whom I corresponded have long since passed on, their memories and genealogical material which were shared with me takes on an even greater need to ensure preservation. I have, in the past few years, heard from grown grandchildren of some of these people, and I have been able to share the correspondence which their grandparent and I exchanged so many years ago. So, a good deal of my time has been devoted to this work recently. My List postings will increase in number as time permits. -B ====================================================================
