resources with other researchers. (If you find a book with lots of east Kentucky surnames in it, a tip would be appreciated!)

Suggested Library Collections:
Although two of the largest genealogical collections in the country are at Salt Lake
City, Utah and Wayne County, Indiana, Kentucky genealogists are fortunate to have a number of good collections nearby. We
will gradually add to the list.

What you'll find there:
