Tracing your family history is a fascinating activity which needs to be done carefully and methodically in order to achieve results and may entail years of research. We at KYBYS have spent hours pouring over documents searching for elusive names and other important information. We then have entered our research material into a huge data base that can be searched by Surname and State.

To see if your ancestors are among our collection, select from the available heading below to search our database.

Old Newspapers - Find Vital Records! Old obituaries, birth & marriage announcements and old news stories. While these are not official records, they can help as a starting point to find your ancestors

County History Books - In these books you can find information on County Formation, Government, Transportation, Industry, Schools, Churches, Servicemen, Cemeteries, Newspapers, Post Offices and Biographies of the Citizens of that County. From these books we learn how our ancestors lived.

Cemetery Records - List names and date of death. A cemetery record may provide birth date, marriage date, military record, and provide leads to other family members.

Church Records - includes church history, church members, marriage, birth, baptismal and death records. Cemetery records are provided if a cemetery is on the church grounds

High School Yearbooks - Seniors and under classmen, faculty, school staff and alumni. (Some include Photo's)

A young wife was cooking her first ham for a family celebration. Before she puts it in the pan to bake, she cuts off both ends of the ham and tosses them out, as her husband comes into the kitchen.

“Why did you cut off the ends of the ham and toss them?”

“Because that’s the way Mom always did it.”

Mom happens to be in the living room, waiting for the feast to begin. So, the young husband calls his mother-in-law into the kitchen, and asks again, “Why cut off the ends?” She gives the same answer as her daughter: “That’s the way Mom did it.”

Seeking to get to the bottom of this, the husband decides to call grandma, celebrating at another relative’s home.

“So, Grandma, we’re discussing the traditional holiday ham. Your daughter and granddaughter both say they cut off perfectly good ends of the ham and toss them out because that’s the way you did it. Why?”

“Well, honey, I don’t know why they do it, but my pan was too small. I had to cut off the ends to make it fit.”
