This two volume set was made possible because of the support, enthusiasm and inspiration of fellow genealogists of the Southeastern Kentucky area.  The founders and descendants of Perry County. Without them this project would never have taken place.  And to Jerry Combs the son of Nicholas “Shanghai Nick” Combs.  For it was the curiosity of his Great Granddaughter that brought the three cousins together Lynda, Jimmie and Norma, Working together with great fondness of each other, Determined to do the most accurate and best 
transcription possible.  We would like to thank  Combs & Company for all Their support, our loving spouses for being so patient with us and last but not least the Kentucky History Center
for making it possible by making it available to the public on microfilm. We present this 1920 Perry County Kentucky Census for all to enjoy.
