What Our Patrons Have to Say...
I'm interested in Wilder surname, particularly pre-1830. Do you have Wilder records in this time period? Thanks!
Thank you for posting the General Tye King interview to your website this summer. It has been a pleasure to listen to those two old friends talk about their past.
My ancestors are the George Bunch family from Knox Co Ky. I would like to know what information there is about them. I am also related to the Trosper family too from Knox Co. Both families came to Missouri and settled. Thank you.
I am trying to find information on Great-Great Grandparents & Great Grandparents that lived in Know County, My Grandmother was born in Flat Lick, KY on July 27, 1884 to Hamilton Gator Baker & Catherine Howington. Do you have birth records, land records, anything for that time period? Thanks so very much!!!
Hi, I am a member and I think my membership expired in February and I don't think I received any renewal notice. Could you check and if needed, I will definitely send in a check. Thanks so much. Robin Black
