Kentucky manuscript collections can be a genealogical rich resource for the genealogist. If you do not know about these collections and are not accessing them in the repositories where your ancestors lived, you could be missing a gold mine. These types of collections can be found in archive collections, library collections, historical society collections, genealogical society collections and university collections. Most are not online.
