Kentucky Genealogy Resources
In some cases, previous researchers have provided oral interviews, indexes, and compilations that can be important starting points to our own family history research. One such case is the Draper Manuscripts. The Draper Manuscripts consists of interviews, notes, letters and questionnaires gathered by Lyman Copeland Draper as he sought to learn more about frontier history. Kentucky is one of the regions represented in the Draper Collection.
