Welcome to... Pulaski County Kentucky |
The pictures on this page were sent to me by Margaret Braun. She took them during
a trip she took to Somerset, KY in July 2002, this is what she says about her
trip... :) |
Somerset, KY |
I've seen old postcards of this square on the internet. This is what it looks
like today.... |
The hotel is just a block or 2 down the street from the square. The whole town
isn't very big. At least, the old town isn't. There's modern stuff spread
all over, but we didn't go there.... |
Beecher Hotel - Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky |
I have cousins there through my grandmother.... I also have a 1st cousin on
my mother's side who lives there. Her husband is from Somerset but no relation
to the Godbey's or Taylor's... at least I don't think. :o)) Anyway,
it's a small world for sure!! You can email Margaret about the families she is researching at maggielou@columbus.rr.com If you'd like to join the mailing list and be sent an email message as to when I update any of the pages here please email me at WVMystica@aol.com |
This is a picture of the Hoosier Schoolhouse on Faubush Creek in 1918 in Pulaski
Co, Kentucky, and all the children that were going there at that time. It is now
covered by the water of Lake Cumberland . I have no connections that I know of at this time to any of the families in the picture, and I have no further information. Thanks to Carl B. Johnson from the SCKY Rootsweb list for sending me this picture, he is researching: Ards, Bells, Beshears, Bolins, Brashears, Farris, Gregorys, Johnsons, LaFavers, LeFevers, McKaughans, McGahans, McGowans, Roberts, Roys, Stephens, Smiths, Troxells and others of Pulaski , Russell, and Wayne Co, Kentucky.
