Subject: [KYBRECKI] GenWeb Archives future additions

Hi all...

I've been a little busy lately, and also have been in the process of
changing Internet service providers. Wanted to email and let you all know
some exciting things regarding the Breck. Co. GenWeb Archives site.

I just returned from spending 5 days in Breck. Co. and came away with a lot
of things to hopefully help everyone out. I was able to completely
photograph Old Ivy Hill Cemetery, Garfield Cemetery, Bright Whitworth
Cemetery, Bruner Cemetery #3, and Hensley-Dowell Cemetery. There were
several others I wanted to complete but lack of time and an overabundance of
sinus troubles kept me from doing anymore than what I did in the out of
doors. I also was able to get the Garfield Baptist Church roll book (I
believe it's 1900 or around that time frame), and the roll book entries for
Mt. Zion Baptist Church for several years within the mid 1820's to the
mid/late 1830's. This particular Mt. Zion Baptist Church started out in
Breckinridge County, but when Hancock County was formed from western
portions of Breck. Co., this church "suddenly" found it's self moved and in
another county. I wasn't able to get right now, but will within the coming
month or so, the rollbooks for CloverCreek!
Baptist Church and Pisgah Baptist Church.

I also received permission to post the marriage listings that the Rev. James
Taylor did in Breck. Co. (these were abstracted by the late Daniel "Lynn"
Bolin), and permission for something very special to place on the Archives
site. I was able to meet Bobby Priest while we both were in Hardinsburg at
the courthouse Archives, and he not only gave permission to use his Civil
War veterans records he's compiled over the many years... but has said
anything he has, is there to be used. In addition to all this, I was able
to get about 30-40 original wills copied.

All this to say, I am really going to need more help if anyone is
interested. I have the rollbooks scanned and can send the pictures via
email or snail mail (on CD), I can scan the Civil War pages as well as the
Rev. Taylor's marriages and do with them as I can the rollbooks. I know
myself and two other ladies are knee deep in the 1870 and 1880 census' and
it'll be a bit before I can fully load the other items on if I have to
transcribe and then key them in. If anyone is interested, you can contact
me at the following email address:


I hope you all are as excited as I am at all the new stuff coming in!

Happy Hunting!
