Surnames: Risner, Adkins, Prater, Bradley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/pAB.2ACI/5309 Message Board Post: I am looking for a start to my geneology. My family is located in a holler around Martin Kentucky that was previously called Risner, Kentucky. Now, it is called Alum Lick. My grandfather is McIntire Risner who married Virginia Adkins (grandmother). Mack's mother's name was Mousie Bradley. I am not sure of his father's name. Virginia Adkins's mother was Tina Prater, and I am not sure who her daddy was. If you have any information on names, or how I can proceed with my search, I would appreciate any help. I am really lost with it, but I am very interested. I have tried census records, but I just don't have enough info to go on. Please feel free to email. My mother is Deborah Risner (Haywood) and my aunt is the late Danita Risner (Miller). If this is of any help.
