My branch of the family is from southern West Virginia for the last two- three generations, at least, and so I think it likely that they came out of eastern Kentucky. I'm just beginning my search, so I have a huge number of blanks, and would love to be able to go further back than my great-grandfather, Robert N. Any help you can give me would be so appreciated!
