I follow your blog regularly, all of my Paternal ancestor's are from Kentucky, my Aunt Ginnie was born and raised and still lives in Louisville. We traveled there last April for my first Genealogy trip, fell in love with Kentucky. It was a wonderful trip, I learned a great deal about my ancestors there. I look forward to your posts.
Thanks Gini.
