One of the popular features
found in The Kentucky Explorer each month is genealogy,
often published in the form of letters, queries, photographs,
and stories. Several serial features, such as Kentucky Genealogy
Help Line, Genealogy From The Long Ago, and Strictly Kentucky
Genealogy, are dedicated solely to this purpose and continue
from month to month.
Here are some genealogy
items from our March 2006 issue:
(From "Kentucky Genealogy Help
Line")

in Maryland. Zadock and his brother, Middleton, emigrated from

County, Maryland. Their descendants were: James Middleton, Robert
Owens, William Allen, Zadock, Matthew, Nancy, Martha, Elizabeth,

O. Beale was in the War of 1812. In the fall of 1815 he visited

years. Charles and Samuel reared families in Madison County.
Charles reared 13 children, whose names were: Lemuel, Howell,
