Finally, after learning how to do a few things on my new system, I finished another book. These are copies from the original documents at the County Clerk's office. Many are torn, frayed and faded; they've existed many years. I've cleaned them up to the best of my ability and all are readable. If you would like to see a copy of the surnames (bride & groom) marrying this year, send me an e-mail. I'll send it to you later this afternoon. Thanks, Sandi Barren County KY Marriages, 1856. Photo copies of 150 marriage licenses and certificates, along with permission slips when needed. Scanned from the original documents. Contains bride and groom's name, date of bond and date of marriage, witnesses and minister. Many show place of birth or residence, how many previous marriages, age and some show parent's names. 168 pages including full-name index.

Everyone, I'm on on the Mammoth Cave Area website and Norman Warnell posted that he was commissioned to make a map of the entire park and plot the former landowners. I found my ggrandmother's land, some of which I knew about and some I didn't. I sent the link to Sandi first because of her cautioning us about clicking on links. This is legit and Sandi has checked it out and heard the presentation about it. So if your ancestors owned land at Mammoth Cave before it became a park, it's worth checking. http://161.6.109.206/mammothHGIS/ Charles
