Surnames: GORE/GRIFFIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wg.2ADE/3825 Message Board Post: My GG Grandfather John GORE was b. in Quincy, IL on Jan 3, 1843. His parents were from KY. Neither professional researchers, nor I, have been able to find his birth certificate to discover who his parents were. This family was Methodist. If anyone has information leading to the findings of John GORE's parents, I would sincerely appreciate it! Thank you!
