Donnie - A few years ago I went to the Jefferson Co Archives and found some records (microfilm) for the Louisville School of Reform/House of Refuge. I was looking for earlier records (1865-1870) but I assume they would have them for 1895 and after as well. Lee

I have couples as early as the late 1800's whom went from Lou., KY to Jeffersonville, IN to get married.

Back in 1933 Dad and Mom borrowed a car, went over to Jeff and got married. No blood test, no waiting, No bond etc.

Why did couples from Jefferson Co. Ky cross the river to Indiana to get married? like in 1894? Did they have to have a licence with blood test, or a bond, surretty, then? what was required?

The man who runs Portland Cemetery's name is David Gates, his Phone # at the cemetery is 502-his phone # is 574-4373. I have been trying for a year or more to get the burial information from them. David is a nice guy and knows lot of history about the cemetery. Hope this helps you.

Hi All. Everyone on this list is so helpful and knowledgable, I hope you don't mind my asking, Does anyone know if there is a central location for past, early 1900's, state hospital or asylum records? A few days ago, someone on another list posted a suggestion for people who's cause of death was ' insane', or other word with same meaning, their records might be on state hospital records. Her suggestion was to try and locate those. She had some success with that. Thanks for any input. Loretta Lee

Submitted for all those of you who might be interested: Putting It All Together – Research, African American History and Genealogy Symposium A comprehensive look at the state of African American history, preservation and genealogy is the focus of a three-day Research Symposium at Kentucky State University and the Kentucky History Center, Thursday – Saturday, February 24-26, 2005. Topics of discussion include the origin of African colonization which took root and flourished in Kentucky (1827-1866); a recovery of the identities and biographies of some of the first 100 emigrants to Liberia and the roles some of these emigrants from Kentucky played in directing the political affairs of the Republic; other discussions will focus on Kentucky African American linkages to national movements such as the 1905 Niagara Movement which led to the establishment of the NAACP. Of equal importance are topics that address genealogy and family histories, historic preservation and efforts to reclaim community sites, such as African American cemeteries and underground railroad historic sites. Presenters at the Symposium include Philip J. Merrill, a nationally recognized expert in African American history, memorabilia and collectibles. His specialties include African American historical research, oral history and collecting and interpreting cultural artifacts. An appraiser with the PBS television Antiques Road Show for six years, he has lectured widely on African American history and collectibles and will exhibit under-rated collectibles useful in illustrating African American contributions and accomplishments. Other presenters include Dr. Blaine Hudson, University of Louisville; Dr. Gerald Smith, University of Kentucky; Ted Harris, Covington, Kentucky; Ms. Juanita White, Louisville, Ky.; Robert Lett, San Marino, CA;Tom Stephens, Kentucky History Center; Bob Gates, Kentucky History Center; and David Morgan, Executive Director of the Kentucky Heritage Council. Dr. Russell Irvine and Dr. David Smith, from Georgia State University, Atlanta, will discuss their research covering the education of African Americans prior to 1865, the Kentucky Colonization Society led by Henry Clay, and the Liberian presidencies of two former Kentucky slaves. An African American History Extravaganza and Reception that showcases historical and preservation projects from around the state and a book signing by authors of recent books about Kentucky African Americans will take place on Friday, February 25th from 6-9 p.m. in the Carl Hill Student Center Ballroom on the campus. Admission to this event only is $10.00. John Logan, a native of Garrad County, Kentucky, will close the Symposium with a full-day Geneaology Workshop on Saturday, February 26, 2005. He is a co-founder of the African-American Genealogy Group (AAGG) of Philadelphia, and has been practicing genealogy for over 20 years. The Genealogy Workshop will be held at the Kentucky History Center. Registration for the Symposium starts at 8:00 a.m., Thursday, February 24, 2005 in the Cooperative Extension Building at Kentucky State University. Participants may register for either one day of the Symposium or all three. The registration fee is $50.00 per day, for Thursday and Friday’s sessions and $25 for the Genealogy Workshop on Saturday. This workshop will be held at the Kentucky History Center. Registration can be completed by phone by calling the CESKAA Office at 502-597-6315. Checks are to be made payable to CESKAA SYMPOSIUM. The Symposium is a joint project between the Center of Excellence for the Study of Kentucky African Americans (CESKAA) at Kentucky State University, the Kentucky African American Heritage Commission, the Kentucky History Center and the Kentucky Genealogy Society.

Does anyone know of this town? I am under the impression that there is a Cemetery there. Any help or direction would be great! Thanks!

Charlotte, You might check to see where the State hospital records are stored in KY also they might have had a court hearing to be put into the hospital. We did this in Indiana, and found all the records and burial of my mother's grandfather, who all the other researchers thought he was buried in his plot in Harmony, IN. Can't tell you how happy all of us were when we got his information.

anyone have access to marriage record index for Jefferson Co. 1850-1860 and can tell me about burgess or burges females ? ( Alice, Mary, Marg, Anna) ?

Is there any one out there that can help sort through the Miller line living in Jefferson Co. in 1820-1850 Census? My main concern is Jacob Miller b: abt 1785. He is living alone in the 1850-1860 census.

According to the 1890 Louisville Directory, the America Adams married to H. N. Adams in the 1880 census, was widowed by 1890 and his name was H. Nelson Adams.
