RESPONSE: Generally speaking I would recommend you start gathering birth and death records and looking at census books. I thought I could give you a boost in the right direction; however, I have not been able to find a "common" denominator with the information you have provided to date. I did a check through the KY birth records. I cannot locate any one mother having a General, a Russell and a Maudie. I can find them with some in Clay, some in Floyd, some in Knox but not a common mother. I have searched the 1930 Fed. Census and cannot locate any two of these names in the same household. So. . . let us begin again. I will look again for you but here is some information I need to know to help me help you! 1. . When was this General born? Are you saying he does not know his own birthdate? Is it possible he was actually a General Lee? 2. WHO was his father or his father's first name? 3. Do you know that they are in Clay Co. or is it possible they could have been anywhere around? 4. I would like the names of each and every sibling you can locate and if someone has some birthyears that would be great. Please come back with some more specifics so we can locate this family. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA Message text written by INTERNET:KYCLAY-L@rootsweb.com >Looking for family of General Baker, born abt. 1918/1920. He is about 81 years old now. As I understand it he had a brother Russell Baker and other siblings. Don't know her maiden name but Ebby/Evie was their mother. General had a sister named Maudie Baker, born abt. 1919, whomarried John Colwell. Their daughter Liz is my sister's mother in law and she was interested in finding any other info but not sure where to look.
