KYGenWeb Project Bath County, Kentucky Welcome to the Bath County KYGenWeb. My name is Alice Brosey and I am your new County Coordinator for Bath County. Sometime in the fall of 2009, Darrell Warner, the previous site coordinator for KYGenweb, ceased responding to emails from KYGenweb members, and private emails as far as I know. I, among many other people, would love the opportunity to communicate with him about genealogy again. He has been a marvelous boon to all Bath County researchers with the sheer volume of data he has compiled over more than a decade online. I know I personally had been in contact with him for almost a decade if not more. Although I will be travelling to Bath County to obtain information as time allows, this website truly depends on your submissions. No matter how small the item please share it. It could be a giant step in another persons research. The more we share, the more we learn, the more others will give. Please email any questions or submissions to Alice Warner Brosey |

Bath County Memorial Library There's
not an organized Bath County
genealogical society or other group that I'm aware of, but the Bath
County Library has a genealogy collection that
is useful and staff members who can probably give you the
best scoop on where to go and what to do to find more information
within Bath
County itself. To contact them off line, write them at P.O. Box 380,
Owingsville, KY 40360 or give them a call at (606) 674-2531.
Or visit their web site: Bath County Memorial Library. |

About
Bath County
Bath County, named for some medicinal springs in the area, was formed in 1811 from part of Montgomery County. In 1818 parts of what was then Floyd County were added to Bath County. In 1823 parts of Bath County were included in the newly formed Morgan County. Bath County acquired its current boundaries in 1869 after parts of the county were removed to form Menifee County. Population: 11,085 (2000) County seat: Owingsville Elevation: 590 to 1388 feet above sea level Surrounding counties (clockwise from the NW): Nicholas County, Fleming County, Rowan County, Menifee County, Montgomery County, Bourbon County, (Don't forget to check these counties for records related to your Bath County families! In particular, check Montgomery County for families who were in the Bath County area before 1811 and Clark County for families who were in the area before 1797.) |

About the KYGenWeb Project and the USGenWeb Project In June 1996, as the KYGenWeb Project was nearing 100% county coverage, interested volunteers decided to create a similar set of pages for all states, establishing the USGenWeb Project. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the efforts for each state, and additional volunteers were and are being sought to create and maintain websites for every county in the United States. Both KYGenWeb and The USGenWeb Project are still growing, and there are always opportunities for new volunteers to adopt county or state pages or participate in a Special Project. To get to websites for other Kentucky counties or find out more about Kentucky counties available for adoption or special projects within KYGenWeb, go to the KYGenWeb Home Page. To find out more about the USGenWeb Project or access other states within that project, go to the USGenWeb Home Page. The USGenWeb Archives is an offshoot of these projects, dedicated to collecting, transcribing, and posting genealogical records of all types. |
