I must issue a word of caution before anyone purchases this book. Does anyone have the book? I'm saying this because I purchased another one of Sherida K. Eddlemon's books. Her families are from the other side of KY and although the book that I have covers 27 counties in KY (1750-1839), not one county in Eastern KY is mentioned. The Birth/Death book may be different, but I thought I'd pass along my own experience just in case. Of course, if this book does include Eastern KY, I may be interested in purchasing a copy myself.
