The name "Kilgour/Kilgore/Killgore" seems to go back as far as the 1200's in Scotland. Sometimes it comes out "Gilgore" etc. in census and such like, but, in general, it is probably a waste of time to consider the more exotic manifestations while doing research?

Cindy, take heart. My husband had abnormal PSA test and then had scan. They found that the cancer was contained and had not spread, so he opted for seeding. He was in the hospital one day, and recuperated within a few days. He has gone for PSA test for last three years and it has been normal. DObrien272@aol.com

Gail -As long as we aren't busy, I thought it would be nice to try to discover what the various persons who are working on the Kilgore line think. I believe you are right, there is no way to know anything for certain about the Kilgores beyond the day we find a record showing them in America.

When you find that answer Rita, I would like to know too. As far as I know we have no proof on the York Co. lines, just that is where most immigrated from at that time period. If you can't find them in the records over there then how do we know that is where they are from and there are no ship records to confirm anything. Gail

Hi Cuzzies!! Here's hoping that all of you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Here's a bit of information I want to share with all of you: (can fine my note with the name of the book this came from, sorry) The name Kilgore means: keeper of Goat!! Ok, Randy I know you well enough to know that you will go somewhere with this lol. Carolyn, thanks so very much for your kind note to the board Your very right, everyone here makes you feel so very loved and cared for. Love to all of you, Linda #1

This message is for all Kilgores on this board. I have sincerely been touched by how caring everyone is. This is not something you see very often. (Except maybe a prayer group in church.) I am praying for all of you. There are so many special prayer requests & needs. I want you all to know I am sincerely concerned & have prayed for ALL of you. There are many out there who may not want to share your needs on the board, but you have someone who is praying for you anyway. I don't know as yet my Kilgore line, because I am at a brick wall. But this mystery will be solved someday. In this time of thanksgiving & reflecting on our blessing. I can say this Kilgore board is a real blessing!! And I am very thankful for you all. Carolyn Olympia, Washington

Randy, thanks once again for another uplifting e-mail. I would like to ask all of you to put Charles on your prayer list. The blood test for his Prostate came back really high when he went for his yearly check-up and now we have to wait two weeks before he can have another blood test. Just pray that God will give us peace during this time of waiting and the faith to know that he will get us through as he always does. He is so good to us and our life is full of His wonderful blessings. Thank you all for being my family and like Randy I have a picture in my mind of how each of you look. If the truth be known we all resemble each other in some way. Of course we know Randy that you are the best looking of the bunch. It has to be the purple boxers and the tin foil. It makes us blind so that we can't "really " see what you look like. LOL. Love you guys, Cindy _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Dear Cindy: Thank you Cindy for informing us regarding Charles. Charles is on my prayer list, as you are also. With all of our daily prayers, they bring a strength from this Kilgore Clan that is very mighty and helps all of us. The Kilgores that are on this board are a very close knit family, and stick together through thick and thin. We do pray together, laugh together and love our cousins dearly. I don't know how our ancestors were, but I have a feeling that we took after them, and I say with all my heart that they were as close together as we are. Yes, Cindy I believe also that we do resemble each other, and it is such a wonderful feeling to have all of our cousins praying with us, and loving each other. This is one wonderful Clan that ask only for prayers and love from each other. Nell, you have a group prayer going for you, and my prayers are also solo for you each day. You are such a wonderful person, and I am so happy that you are my cousin. I love you dearly, Nell. I do want to mention that my nephew Jack is on a prayer group also, along with his wife Gail. I do hope the pain goes away soon, and that your injuries will heal very quickly. Not being able to work, and feeling so much pain constantly is absolutely hideous. I love you both dearly, and I am so sorry that I cannot alleviate your hurts, nor help you heal fast, but you do have all my love, and you know, you are just like my own son, Jack. Sherm: The prayer group is with your brother and yourself, and the Shell family. I hope so very much that your brother will start getting better. Randy, you are like Cindy said, the most handsome Kilgore. The handsomeness is not only the outside. You are a beautiful person inside, and I know every one on this list love you, and love it when you post. You have a way of saying things that make our group gather around each other. Your heart is as large as a home, and it wraps around all of us. Thank you for being yourself, Randy. Thank you also for making us laugh when we need that part of you. You always seem to know what we need. Thank you for being our cousin. God Bless all of the cousins; Love: Donna

Dear Future Kilgores, Long past the day when my bones have turned to dust, some of you may be exploring your genealogy and stumble across the archives of Rootsweb. What you'll discover is a treasure most of us 'familyfishers' would dearly love to have from our ancestors. I have pictures in my head of you reading Donna's posts and wishing you'd known her; or admiring the courage of so many of your ancestors who faced life's darker hours with wit and courage not written about in novels or TV movies. There's a quiet strength to this generation of your family, and I hope that echoes down through the ages. You will marvel to know that I've never met one member of the board face to face, and yet I've grown to admire, respect and love them as if they lived next door and I'd known them all my life. Like the rest of life in this era, there are regulars whose names you see over and over again; and there are immigrant researchers who visit us for a time and then disappear into the vast arena of daily life never to cross our paths again. I mourn that even as I accept it, but when you read these words decades (dare I say centuries?) from now, I hope you sense the community we formed here, at once stable and yet transient. Perhaps, if you're perceptive, you'll note a hole in our correspondence after September 11, 2001. No doubt that date in history will mean something to you. Our world changed that day. We found ourselves engulfed with need, and we responded with incredible clarity and overwhelming charity. But we did more than that: We hugged our children closer to our breasts, and talked longer over the backyard fences with neighbors who mean something to us but often got lost in the shuffle of our busy lives. We asked ourselves deeper questions, and asked our pastors even deeper ones. We gave up our laptops and desktops for chats over tea, prayers in corporate boardrooms, or reading chapters to our children. When you notice the gap, don't mistake it for a waning of our commitment to this powerful family bond we've formed with our Kilgore cousins. Recognize that like your Kilgore ancestors who took up weapons to win our independence, or to defend it from tyranny of all kinds down through the years, we found it necessary to step up and be a different kind of citizen for a time. We'll be back to genealogy and frivolity someday soon, and our records will reflect that to you. I'm a long-distant voice in your past now. I hope I make you laugh, and maybe sometimes cry, because then you'll know we were real, breathing three-dimensional human beings and not linear, one-dimensional statistics in your history. You would like us if you met us. We would like you if we met you. I wish I could list each person for you and describe what I've learned about them. I wish you could read my prayer journal and know their hopes and fears and wishes, their struggles and their triumphs, their foibles and their magic. This is a wonderful generation to be a Kilgore; and as they read this, I hope they are reminded of what they mean to me. Warmest regards from an echo of your past, Randy

Hi Gang, I've been unable to get to my emails for a few days, but have read each one and want to add my assurances of prayers for those matters raised on the board. I'm sorry to have been silent for so long. Warmest regards, Randy
