This morning, I posted a comment on the news that old records of Fayette County are currently being scanned. Click here to read the post. Now before you get excited, these records of old are in Fayette County, Kentucky.
I also contacted one of my favorite genealogy guru types to tell him the good news as his family did settle in early Mason County. We swapped emails and then decided to see how we could find these records in the areas of the country we reside.
After dashing emails to both the Kentucky Archives and to the Fayette County Clerk, I received a reply from David at the Archives.
David says in his email that "The Fayette County books will be available for viewing on microfilm by the end of January. I do not believe any scanned copies will be available. Unfortunately, we do not interlibrary loan microfilm but a copy can be purchased from our micrographics department if you have access to a reader."
So, if you have a hankering to find your roots in early Kentucky, you may want to contact the Archives at the end of January.
Happy Hunting!
Ahhh, genealogy. A glimpse of the past shows of what I am made.....
