Wills and Ways: Miscellaneous Kentucky Records

One of the first publications of the Kentucky Genealogical Society was the Wills and Ways: Miscellaneous Kentucky Records book. This 108-page book features multiple family records of over 500 Kentucky families. The index of names is six-pages long. The society published the book in 1975.

The booklet is available to Kentucky Genealogical Society members at our Member Portal.
