Surname Headings of the "Families of Harrison County" Section of "Harrison County, Kentucky History & Families 1793-2015"

A LITTLE BIT MORE TO SUPPLEMENT THE INDEX
OF THE HARRISON COUNTY, HISTORY BOOK

Partly to aid in the sales of the last copies of Harrison County, Kentucky History & Families 1793-2015, and partly to develop a research aid that will be of use to future historians and genealogists who come along after the last book is sold, I skimmed through the "Family Histories of Harrison County" section of the book (pp. 94-168) and have typed up a list of the surnames which head each individual's submission to the family histories section (Yeah, I know, a similar list has also appeared in the ads for the book in the Harrison Heritage News).

Using this list in conjunction with the index might help to determine the usefulness of the book in researching a particular family.

This same information has just been added to the previous index which appears as part of a post earlier this month at this blog.

Those names are as follows:

A
Ammerman, Anderson, Sam W. Arnold, Jr., Sam W. Arnold, III,

B
Bailey, Barlow (2x), Barnes (2x), Barnes-Arnold, Bastin, Batson, Beagle, Bedfords, Bell, Biancke, Brewer, Brown, Brunker-Platt, Butcher,

C
Cain (2x), Chamberlin, Clough, Colvin, Conway, Cook (2x), Courtney, Coyne, Cummins, Currans,

D

F
Faulkner, Fite, Florence (4x), Fowler, Freyman, Fritz, Fryman,

G

Harrison County, Kentucky History & Families 1793-2015

THE END OF (A) HISTORY

The Harrison County Historical Society is getting ready to complete the last chapter of its multi-year project to get a new history of the county published.  The volume is entitled Harrison County, Kentucky History & Families 1793-2015 (published by Acclaim Press (AcclaimPress.com)) and the society has been working over this past year or two to sell them all out.  Some of the last books will be donated to local school libraries, but there are still some available for sale to the general public.

There aren't many left, maybe two dozen at most as I write and post this text.  For those whose time is limited, the volume is chockful of pictures of schools, churches, citys, towns, and almost forgotten communities along with the people who made their mark in making the county a success story.  Texts describe life as it was in even the oldest times, during the earliest days of European settlement, through times of war, one civil and two world wars, and many other events.

The history also includes a good many family histories submitted by out-of-town and in-county genealogists that will be of interest to anyone researching in the county.  If not your own, then maybe you will find the family history of a collateral line of interest; I know I have found several submissions which are of special interest to me.

A book that would look nice on anyone's shelf.

TIME IS LIMITED

The book is a limited edition, so no more will be published.  To get yours today, or just sooner than later (which may not be much longer) write to the Harrison County Historical Society, P.O. Box 411, Cynthiana, Ky. 41031-0411 and tell them you want a copy or copies.  You've gotta send $54.95 for each book, plus $6.00 per book for shipping and handling.  Kentucky residents need to add 6% for sales tax. (These same ordering details will appear in the January 2017 issue of the Harrison Heritage News.)

Partly to aid in the sales of these last volumes, and partly to develop a research aid that will be of use to future historians and genealogists who come along after the last book is sold, I skimmed through the "Family Histories of Harrison County" section of the book (pp. 94-168) and have typed up a list of the surnames which head each individual's submission to the family histories section.  Those names are as follows:

THE INDEX

I have also gone to the back of the book, located the index, and typed up all eight pages (pp. 169-176).  (The index will eventually work its way into my site, www.HarrisonCountyKy.US)

The index, as much of it as I have copied it here, does not include page numbers.  You may say why not, but if you don't have the book in front of you, then such an index would be useless to you ... and if you have the book in front of you, then you don't need to be looking at this index, do you!  ;-)

The index of the volume is mostly a surname index, the names of individuals are not included, or if it is, then it is only because that name is part of the name of a business or other institution listed in the index, such as businesses, newspapers, schools, churches, hospitals, railroads, military units, monuments, etc.  I could go on, but you get the idea.
