Synopsis
Kentuckians in Ohio and Indiana is designed specifically to assist genealogists seeking ancestors from Ohio or Indiana who were originally from Kentucky. Deliberately passing over the conventional record sources, it draws its information from published county histories and county atlases, works containing the type of information likely to be of use to the genealogist. Arranged in tabular format under county of origin, entries include some or all of the following information: the name of the Kentucky migrant, his birth date, the names of his parents and their dates and places of birth (if known), and the date of migration. The name index at the back of the book contains references to more than 10,000 persons.
Synopsis
Prior to the Civil War nearly one-third of all native-born Kentuckians lived outside of the state, many in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Illinois. This work is designed to help genealogists seeking ancestors from Ohio or Indiana who were originally from Kentucky. Not using conventional record sources, it draws its information from published county histories and county atlases, works containing the type of information helpful to the genealogist.
