Kentucky is My Home!
Wishes you and yours
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Sue Ann ~ Jim

Hi, my name is Sue Ann and I was born and raised in Louisville, Jefferson County Kentucky, but living in Florida since 1995. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather were coal miners in Harlan County, Kentucky. I began the journey into the life of my kin in 1973. I'm doing this for my Children and Grandchildren and for others trying to find their family by possibly giving them a place to start. I gladly welcome additions and corrections
and look forward to hearing from you.
I would love your side of the family also.
After all, we could be cousins!

I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands.
One Nation Under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all.

Personal note: This site is not to be considered a serious place for your research. It's only to get you pointed in the right direction hopefully. I am not and do not claim to be a professional genealogist, researcher or historian. I enjoy doing this as a hobby and to share with others. Please verify any information you find here through other sources.

Kentucky

GOD is good to Indiana

As a father to his child,

But he made our old Kentucky

And just looked at her and smiled.

Then he made the broad Ohio

Circle 'round this land so fair

As a mother hugs her baby

To her heart with tender care.

Yes, GOD went to Indiana

And he blessed each hill and glade;

But he came down to Kentucky,

And just sat down here and stayed.

Here he made Davis and Lincoln,

Destined each to play his part;

And a sacrifice so noble,

Healed a nations broken heart.

And George Rogers Clark he sent with

His Kentucky rifle band,

to release His Indiana

From the English turantic hand.

Then he sent Old Davy Crockett
'Way out to the Alamo
And they made the state of Texas

Out of Northern Mexico.

Here He heard the call of Jackson

'Way down south at New Orleans,

And He sent Kentucky soldiers

Uniformed in homemade jeans.

When, because each one sought freedom,

War between the States was made,

To the South He sent Jeff Davis

To the North Old Honest Abe.

So the Lord sends from Kentucky

Just the man He wants to go,

Who will always do His bidding

Every time - - - Is it not so?

We believe our GOD will tell you,

Tho forever you may roam,

That the nearest place to Heaven

Is the "Old Kentucky Home."

It is just as clear as can be

That GOD loves and freely gives

to the other States His blessings;

But Kentucky is where He Lives!
