I do not know if Bettie Cook is on this list or not, but she has moved from the address listed. Her husband has passed away. There are five wonderful volumes of the Breckinridge County Kentucky Records. She is a direct descendant of Presley Cummins. This is the URL to her publications site with new postal address, phone number and email address. Bettie is a Certified Genealogist, President of the Tri-State Genealogical Society and a good friend. If you order or inquire about her books, tell her John West sent you.
