Kentucky Biographical Dictionary, 1896

This database contains a biographical record, published in 1896, of the prominent and representative men and families of the state of Kentucky. This database would be of great worth to researchers with ancestors from this area of the United States. Even though your ancestors may not be listed in this biographical record (since it only covers the most prominent citizens of the area), much can be learned by reading about the lives of others who lived during the time of your ancestors, for, as stated in the preface of this work, "the history of a country is best told in a record of the lives of its people."
