Hi all....
Wanted to email and let you all know that despite the Olympics slowing me down, and something else that I want to pass along to you all, there are more additions of death certificates to the pages. I'm slowly dividing out the pages as they reach a certain length, hoping to keep them manageable over time. At present, I've got through the "F" page done, but still need to link up files already placed on the server for the "G-Z" pages. Hopefully that will come over the next couple of days.
What I wanted to pass along to you all was something very exciting I found over the weekend, and it's something to help out you guys with your researching if you are searching through 1900, 1903-1910 in Breck. Co. I have found where the Kentucky Historical Society has began to scan and upload the images of the Breckenridge News from the years I just listed. They aren't complete years, but they are available and accessible for anyone... free of charge. I spent Sat. and Sunday uploading the images for the years 1900, 1903, and I'm half way through 1904. My hope is that they will continue to upload early newspapers from Breck. Co. as well as surrounding counties, as the Breckenridge News covered the Cloverport and Hardinsburg areas... but in the "outer lying areas" (ie. Big Spring, Constantine, Custer, Garfield, Raymond, Hudson) news wasn't covered nearly as much. Still, check them out, as you may find family listed even in the tiniest of corners or most obscure of places.

Just click on the newspaper icon and it will take you to a page that has all the papers they've scanned and uploaded so far!
Happy Hunting!!
