I spend several hours a day doing lookups for other people, not just in Breathitt but other areas of the USA. I know there are many other people on the list who do the same to help others with their genealogy because they care. They have spent hours putting censuses and other records online. If you posted a query to the Breathitt list and I was able to help you I would have. Maybe the information you need is not available to us for us to help you. Just because some people post a lot to the list it does not mean there is a "clique." If the question is in regard to an illegitimate birth, that information might be very hard to come by. Why dont you try posting again? I find it hard to believe that anyone on this list would discriminate against you because of your family name. In fact, my grandmother was a Begley. Yvonne

Thanks ********************************************************************************** Hi, I sure wished I knew your first name. It makes its alot more personal and friendly. I'm not sure about any cliques. Who are they? I personally thought this list was dead. Hmm, a thought just came to me. Are you referring to the ones in the Breathitt Co Library? I was there once (4 yrs ago) myself and found the genealogy material there unbelievable. There were books, books, and more books. And a ton of files, but no one asked if I needed any help. I was pretty lost because I only had an hour to visit and didn't know where to start. I even introduced myself to a lady there and she seemed to be too busy to even say hello. I understand she is retired now. Who is in charge of this Rootsweb Breathitt Co mailing list? I'm sorry if I've stepped on any toes, but this valuable mailing list is being wasted. And Rootsweb can't afford to keep empty mailing lists running forever. Genealogy is fun, lets keep it that way. Lynda Combs Gipson http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyperry3/perrycokystuffpage.html

Hello List; I been away and missed you all. About 60 years ago I was staying with my Grandparents Floyd and Lily Turner on Frozen Creek at Vancleve KY. Our farm was just North of the Blanton Bridge. I was about five years old at the time and one Sunday afternoon Grandmother Lillie Lawson Turner told me to get my cap that we were going down to the Puckett Cemetery, they were having a Dinner on the Ground and there would be Preaching and Singing. It was a long walk, maybe five miles, but the Spring Weather was cool and the time passed quickly. I asked her why we were going, I was curious because Church things were not a normal part of our lifestyle. She said that her Grandmother was buried at Puckett and that she wanted to go. Being only five I never made the connection that her grandmother was my great great grandmother. I could have gotten a five mile family history lesson but we walked in silence. Don't get me wrong my Grandmother was as good to me as anyone ever was and she didn't have a mean bone in her body but t! hat day she just wasn't thinking. Please; when you get the chance to talk to your kids take it, they may not remember it all but I remembered that someone important was at Puckett Cemetery and could have remembered more. Lily Belle Lawson was the daughter of James Lawson and Sarah Vancleve. Sarah Vancleve was the d/o James Vancleve and Missanaar Woods, Missanaar Woods was the d/o Washington Luke Woods and Sarah Gibbs, Sarah Gibbs was the d/o Hannah Mason Muchmore and Revolutionary War hero John Gibbs.

Cheryl, I have a cousin who was married to a Begley. She lives in Red Fox, KY. Her husband has passed, but I'm sure she knows the family well. She knows.....everything...ha ha.

Hi Lois, I have one..... Fron the Jackson Times *March 18, 1921 - News reached Jackson Saturday night of the killing of Breck Little at the home of Granville Spencer on Shoulder Blade. It is said that Little and a Combs man got into a tussle over a pistol and Combs' younger brother drew a pistol and shot Little, killing him almost instantly. It will be remembered Breck Little, who only a few years ago was sent to the penetentiary for the killing of a young colored boy named Crawford, was paroled some two years ago. It is reported that the parties were all drinking.

The upper case L looks very much like an upper case S in writing from that time period. A transcriber gives one of my ancestors the occupations of "Miller and Lawyer", it should be "Miller and Sawyer." I looked at the census image and I can see how that mistake was made. Something to think about if you're trying to do a computer search for an "S" or an "L".
