I appreciate your efforts by put the Knox County Kentucky Kinfolk Newsletters online. All I seem to see is the Table of contents. Do we have to purchase the Newsletters or are you planning on placing the rest of the Newsletter pages online?
Thanks and by the way, you all are Great!!
I missed seeing Connie Danner's name on the staff listing. I do hope that fine lady is well and living in Barbrouville.
