Local History

 

 

If you have any questions about the local history or Genealogy Database please email Rachel Sweany.

 

Due to our lack of local history staff, the Louisville history obituary database has not yet been added to the current website. The database is under maintenance and should be available through our website by the end of the year, with a brand new look. 

We thank you for your patience while we modify the database for use on this website. If you need assistance with obituaries or other local interest topics, please do not hesitate to contact us. There is a charge of $1 per request. We will e-mail or mail your results as quickly as possible.
