One other thought Jane - run your location report, print it as a PDF (print it to your computer not paper!) and then use the find function looking for Kentucky, or whatever else you may have used to signify Kentucky. You should easily see which pages of your PDF you might need to print and work with - you should also have the counties, cities and individuals/surnames that way.
Hope that helps (just tried it and it worked for me).
