Pat thanks for the site. I had already read the article about the Blue People of Ky. One of the sites I put up shows pics of Benjamin Stacy who is supposed to be the last one with this disease, and also shows an old one of a family that had blue in their families--very interesting. Also wanted everyone to take a look at the website and Look at the Mother Goose House--it was built by George Stacy, and at one time was on the Oprah Show. I had read about it, but it was the first pics I had seen of it. Also found a few deals about Combs, which we have several who married into our Stacy family . Thanks again, Pat--I really loved it, and am still going thru stuff.

My mother's mother came from that area of Kentucky--they are in that Combs, Cornett, Grigsby, Fugates, Ritchies and a few others group. And they went to Madison county, Arkansas. If you haven't been there recently-I think it is a desolate county--just sayin.' There is a complete 'Kentucky' township in Madison County--it was that group from Kentucky, mostly, that lived there. And, my dad's folks came into the Izard, Fulton, Baxter county areas. So, that's how come I know about it--I've been visiting that site for a long while now. Glad you all gleaned some info from there. Pat Foster In OK
