Point ID help?

I have a collection of arrowheads that I know nothing about. They were my great uncle's until he passed and now I have them. I believe they are all from the Indiana, Michigan, Ohio area. But not too positive on that. What are your opinions? He loved his metal detector and brought home rocks that he found while metal detecting, so these might be from a trip. I don't think he bought them. I can take extra pictures if wanted. I personally found the arrowhead in the second picture, bottom row, third one in, found in Northwest KY, what could that one be?
All help greatly appreciated!
Alex

Top picture, top row, left to right is.... a Dovetail, a small Knife, a possible Paleo Point, and another larger Knife.

Bottom row, left to right is....Robert Converse calls these Micro Notch Points but I think thay have another name which escapes at the present, a Thebes Point, and a possible Snyders with the base broken off.

The second picture looks like a mix of some Archaic Side Notch types and some Middle Woodland Hopewell related types along with a couple more Knife forms.

Nice looking pieces for sure.

Steve pretty much nailed the types. I was born in Ft. Wayne and have hunted around there for years, there really isn't anything on there that couldn't be from Allen, Whitley or Huntington counties. Nice finds.
