Hey there list...

I know it's been a while since I've done an major work on the Breck. Co. GenWeb site, and I apologize. Between the death of my grandmother and a few other family situations, I've been battling the flu bug for going on 3 1/2 months and some unexpected health situations. Hopefully here in the next couple of weeks I'll feel more like doing work and adding to the site... so just bear with me a little longer.

As you guys know (or if you don't, you will in a second), my passion is cemetery restoration and preservation. It's why I go into the cemeteries, big and small, and photograph them, as one day they may not be there or the markers legible enough to read. With that in mind, I've been mentally working on a cemetery list for when I go on vacation this year. I'm looking on going in May some time and wanted your all's input on something. I have a couple that are going to need a little bit more work and will be completed. I have some mental ideas and ideas from cousins... but also want ideas from you all on the cemeteries.

If you were able to be in Breckinridge County to visit a cemetery with your ancestors, which one or ones would you try the hardest to get to? I want to try and get to cemeteries that are going to help researchers the most in their search, yet I don't want to forget the little cemeteries as the next time I go down they may be unattainable. I'll be completely honest in saying that I don't know a whole lot about the very northern part of Breck. Co., the portion from Hardinsburg westward to the county line, or the very southwestern part of the county... so unfortunately I may not be able to get to them as quickly as I would like. I'm very familiar, for the most part, with the central, eastern, and south eastern parts of the county. I still have family living in those areas, so if I get lost... it's not hard to stop by their house and say "help... I'm lost" (which I have done in the past).

I really do value your all's thoughts, ideas, and opinions... so I would like to hear from you all. If you want to post to the list so that there will be a "permanent" copy in the mailing list Archives of a cemetery's name/location, that would be great. If you would rather email me personally, that's fine too. Just so long as I get some input in there, I would most especially grateful. The Archives site is to help you all, so I want to do what I can while I'm there.

Y'all have a great one and try to stay warm (in the snowy areas of the nation).
Happy Hunting!
