==Cultural Groups==
{{Adoption KYGenWeb}}Records and histories of minorities and ethnic groups may provide clues to immigrant origins, migration information, and previous residences. For the most part, research on minorities consists of consulting the same types of records as research for non-minorities. The purpose of this section is to identify a few of those special sources that influence research on minority families in [[Kentucky]].
