Family & Local History Files
The Local and Family History File consists of over 500 files of primarily genealogical materials that have been assembled on many Central Kentucky families. Most of the items in the files have been photocopied from a variety of secondary genealogical sources and on occasion even some primary source materials such as copies of letters, Family Bibles, pension records, deeds, and wills, etc. can be found in the collection. In addition the files contain information assembled by genealogists who have requested that their research be included in the files. The files are arranged numerically in file cabinets. The following index to the files is arranged alphabetically by surname or subject. For copies of the files please complete a Research Request Form (PDF).
