Welcome to Breathitt County on KYGenWeb

This KyGenWeb project is dedicated to maintaining genealogical information about our Breathitt County, Kentucky connecting families. This is an ongoing effort and needs your help. Any information you can add or correct contributes to the benefit of all Breathitt County family researchers.

Speaking of help, please take a quick look at the Research Requests page and see if you can help someone, or consider having your own request there.

If you're interested in contributing information to this site for other researchers, please contact me.

Try using the search form for this web site which is under the menu on the left side of this page. There is a lot of information here and that search form is a great tool for digging through it all.

Take a look at the USGenWeb Archives Breathitt County Archives site. It offers many great resources such as census data.

The KYGenWeb Project maintains a list of lookup volunteers you should absolutely take a look at.

Thank You and Happy Hunting!!

Breathitt County Coordinator
