Doris, I got the newsletter today and would not have thought to try and search "voter records" or "bank records". Where would info be available to find old bank records? Also noticed on the back page the first entry is Jno. O. Kilgore and I think that is Kim Tyson's line. The Massie D. Kilgore looks familiar and they were from OH and I think they lived in KS. Strange how I can pick these out as if there were only a handful of Kilgore's. Also, what is interesting is the Clide or Clyde Kilgore son of George from OH as we have a Clyde Kilgore in our line and that is not a common name in our line and we wondered where it came from, not saying that this line is connected but interesting to read it. Hope you are having a good day and that you are doing better. Keep me posted!! Gail Meÿer Kilgore Casa Grande, AZ

While we're on the "Clyde Kilgores," I had an AUNT named Johnnie Clyde Kilgore, daughter of John Bryant Kilgore, son of James A. G. Kilgore, son of Elijah Kilgore. One of these days I'll climb over my "brick wall---Elijah Kilgore--- and find out WHO his brothers/sisters/PARENTS might have been. Have worked on it several years without success, but I keep trying. Elijah was born in 1815-16 in TN of VA-born parents (according to census). On the Kilgore list are MANY, MANY names that are the same as ELIJAH'S children and grandchildren, and I'm positive there MUST BE some relationships that exist between my Elijah and some of the TN Kilgores. I just can't document that fact yet. Ora Jane

Gail, The Family History Library (SLC, UT) has some voting records on microfilm. The ones I have looked at (for Etowah Co AL) didn't give much info. other than name, voting district, and date of birth (great source for birthdate), but still worth checking. I was surprised to find none of my Etowah Co ancestors voted; and how many women voted in 1920 (I think). Anyway, just knowing whether or not your ancestor voted (or registered to vote) can tell you a little something about them.
