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
