Hi Pat-- Just returned home last evening from my Kentucky journey. Spent time in both Casey and Fleming Counties. Had wonderful results. Thanks so much for your help. The primary family names included in my files are: TOMS, GILPIN, THOMAS, FRENCH, ROBERTS, CUNDIFF, in Casey County; and HUMPHRIES, THACKER, CALVERT, LUMAN/LEWMAN, and RIGDON in Fleming County, Ky. Some files are well documented; others are less so. All, however, may offer a good starting point for those researching the same family lines. I have attempted to give credit in the "notes" section to all those helpful people who provided information on the various lines. The file could not have been done without them. I feel sure that some errors exist within some of the files since records are a "hit and miss' proposition in Virginia and Maryland. I would appreciate anyone reviewing the files to a) identify areas where they disagree with what I have; and/or b) help me fill in the blanks where data are missing. Again, my deepest appreciation to you and all the library personnel who make visits to Casey County such a pleasure. Also, my mother and I LOVED the "Bread of Life Cafe". Regards Annette Smiley
