During our month long trip back to Kentucky in 2023, we visited Evans Cemetery in Wolfe County. Wolfe County is located in eastern Kentucky, surrounded by Menifee, Powell, Lee, Breathitt, Magoffin and Morgan counties. While in the county we also visited Hazel Green Cemetery. If you want to […]
I have spent the last hour trying to find Old Cedar Grove Baptist Cemetery on Google Maps. I have not succeeded. Ritchey and I visited the cemetery in May of 2016, taking photographs of some of the gravestones. I have a copy of Kentucky County Maps – a […]
My post today is a sad one. I wanted to use photographs from Powell County today. I can’t tell you why I chose Powell, just a random choice. Ritchey and I visited August 19, 2017, taking photographs in three cemeteries – Clay City Eaton Cemetery, Kennon Cemetery and […]

Cedar Hill Cemetery is located on the south of US 60 on Rose-Luney Road in Irvington, Breckinridge County, Kentucky. Not a large cemetery, it is in a beautiful location – on the top of a hill as the name suggests. Not quite as high of a hill as […]
St. Charles Church was my home parish for about 15 years – from the time my family moved from Lebanon, the county seat of Marion, until my marriage to Ritchey. At that time I was Phyllis Hill and played organ for the 10:00 a.m. Mass. So long ago. […]
In the early years of my research I focused strictly on my ancestors and family members, as most of us do. After starting Kentucky Kindred Genealogy in April 2011, I broadened the research to include all Kentuckians – after all, they were each someones family! Ritchey and I […]
