Grayson County Genealogy Trails

Celebrating 200 Years . . .

Welcome to the Grayson County Kentucky Genealogy Trails Page! My name is Cathy Schultz. I love Genealogy, and it is my desire in hosting this website to help all of YOU continue your quest for finding your Ancestors!

FREE Genealogy Data can be very difficult to find, but all of us at Genealogy Trails have the same goal: to transcribe and provide as much data as possible to remain FREE to anyone who needs to locate their family!

You are welcome to help us in this adventure! Share your data! Email me if you have any questions.

**NEW** Obituaries can be submitted or Cemetery Records can be submitted much easier than before.

*JAMES P. MCCLURE JOURNAL* NEW* I have the first 18 pages of this INVALUABLE journal online. Mr. McClure was a local Jeweler and kept records of the entire community. Since the courthouse last burned in 1896 and his journal contains information from BEFORE 1896 - it could be the only record of some of these things. Click Here

Here's some history on Grayson County according to "Kentucky: A History of the State" by W. H. Perrin, J. H. Battle & G. C. Kniffin (copyright 1887)

GRAYSON COUNTY, was formed in 1810, from Hardin and Ohio Counties, and is bounded on the north by Hardin and Breckinridge, on the east by Hart, on the south by Edmonson, and on the west by Ohio and Butler. It was named in honor of Col. William Grayson, a Virginian, and a distinguished politician and statesman. The county is well drained by the following watercourses: Rough Creek, Big and Little Clifty, Nolin, Rock, Caney, Bear and Short Creeks.

To learn more about the history of Grayson County visit the Grayson County Chamber of Commerce website.

If you have records or Genealogy information to share, please email it to me. I will get it posted as soon as possible.

The information belongs to YOU and will ALWAYS belong to YOU!

We need records such as: Wills, Deeds, Biographies, Bible Records, Cemetery Listings, Newspaper Clippings, Obituaries, tax bills, etc.

Please don’t send your .GEDCOM files. I apologize that I don't have time to do personal research since it takes all the time I have to TRANSCRIBE, TRANSCRIBE, TRANSCRIBE!!!
