What Our Patrons Have to Say...
Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to purchase Volume 3 -1991, all of the articles from that section. If so, how much and how do I complete it? Thanking you in advance.
Great website! I, too, was unaware of the KNOX HISTORICAL MUSEUM WEBSITE. Most of my ancestors lived in Knox County, Ky at one time. I am interested in the Arthur/Bond family ancestry. I hit a brick wall approx 15 years ago, researching my Bond family.
I live at least 3 hours away, but woud live to make the trip if I knew that the information you have is on my West family. would it be possible for someone to send me some names? thank you so much. Linda Gibson
I did not realize you had a website until I received the current issue of the Knox Countian. Susan Arthur was my aunt.
Just wanted to let you know that I found a list of postmasters on line that included my ancestor Ambrose Arthur, who served as postmaster at Flat Lick between 1848-52. List is at
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyknox/Postmaster.html#Flat
This list includes all postmasters from Knox County.
I would love to see the resurrection of the Christmas Party that was so enjoyable. My mom, Janice Potter Trent, was very active during that time. I truly miss the mingling, the great food we all prepared, and the stories told. Please consider doing this again. Thanks!
