Hello Nelson Co. KY contributors: First I want to thank Bob Moore for the enlightment re: Roundtable. I was unaware of this organization and its resources. Secondly, I want to thank Roundtable and all of its contributors for all the work they produce (even if I have my head in the sand & didn't know it was available)! You are so right, Bob. We need to give and take! I couldn't agree more. I hope Roundtable is inundated with artcles! :) It's been so long since I've done any Nelson Co., KY research - but I like to know what is going on so I keep watching the messages in case a familiar surname pops up. Have thoroughly enjoyed the postings as of late - they have been quite interesting and informative. Great questions - in depth answers. Thanks much to all. It's been a pleasure reading them. Eileen Cooper, NELSON CO., KY: Surname: Bryan, Nancy (daughter of Ignatius & Mary Wathen Bryan) m. Leonard Cooper.
