Please note: The majority of our genealogy collection focuses on Kentucky, particularly Shelby, Henry, Spencer, Oldham, Nelson, and other nearby counties. We have limited resources on the far eastern and western Kentucky counties. Because Kentucky was part of Virginia prior to 1792, we also have some Virginia resources.
