Information: There is a Kentucky Atlas that I foiund in the Gift shop at the Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort.
It has CEMETERIES marked in each county. Also sm roads.
I have worn out one and a year ago bought another.
I do believe that all people who are looking for family can use this Atlas.
