Kentucky Kindred Genealogy 
I recently subscribed to your posts and greatly enjoy. Although a child of the South, I have lived in Florida for 50 years, and and only vaguely remember Kentucky. I like to be reminded of that little girl, so long ago, and so many travels ago.
Would like to visit one more time and play in the snow, my fondest memories.
You look beautiful in your hat. So that is where I got my love of hats…..Kentucky.
Thank you! There’s nothing like Kentucky. I’ve lived here all my life. The change of seasons is something I really enjoy – spring and fall being favorites. Ritchey and I love to visit tea rooms, one reason I love wearing hats! I hope you come to Kentucky at least one more time. What area would you visit?
Russellville, my birth place, born 1943.
We live in coastal north Florida, and have been evacuated each of the last two Septembers because of the hurricanes. Because we were out of the country both times and arriving back in the US, are only recourses were to end up driving from our home on the east coast to a hotel on the west coast of Florida; and last year ending up in Memphis, Tennessee, the closest place our travel agent could find a flight/hotel as we were flying in from Edinburgh.
Too much info, I know, but we are already planning a trip to Nashville, if we have an evacuation this year. Then we can drive the 60 miles to Russellville.
And, I forgot to say, visiting your site is warm and comforting.
I love the little town of Russellville! About the size of Harrodsburg, where we live. Ritchey and I were there for over a week in October, visiting cemeteries, research in surrounding counties (we visited 18 counties total!). Thank you for your kind comments!
