Hi, I may be able to help a little. I live in Ashland, KY and have a listing of almost all of the cemetaries in the area. If you can tell me where he is buried at exactly, I will go and search for his grave and any other family members. I take pictures with my digital camera and can forward them on to you. Also most of the grave yards have a list of who paid for the plot and funeral. I could maybe access that for you. Let me know if I can help. bonni potter gbpotter@zoomnet.net -----Original Message----- From: charles and ginny urban (by way of Betty Lou Riley <chipmunk@zoomnet.net>) <barban@webtv.net> To: KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com <KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, March 18, 1999 9:38 AM Subject: [KYGREENU-L] URBAN >Hi, > Hope someone can help Charles!

Hi, Hope someone can help Charles! This was sent to me and thought you might be able to help! You may have to answer Charles personally as I ma redirecting this to the list! Thanks everyone!! _________________________________________________________ My great grandfather, Karl Ludwig (Charles Louis) Urban is buried in the Ashland KY Cemetery near his brother, Jacob Urban. I have his death certificate, but some fool relative listed his parents as unknown. Jacob, apparently, was a fairly prominent citizen of Greenup County in the late 1800's.

I am looking for my ancestors by the name of Wingo. I have a copy of 1900 census from Greenup County. Supervisors District 9, Enumeration District No. 47. Can't read but looks like OnagisTerail District, Springville. Line 74. It states H.R. Wingo, but his name was Henry Pitman Wingo. I know from the family he had two wives at the same time. I just can't locate him on the earlier census. Anyone, can you help? Thank you! Mimi 4mimi@home.com

Anyone researching these surnames should look in southwest Virginia. There are numerous references to these surnames in Tazewell, Russell, Wythe, Washington, and Smyth counties, and probably any of their neighboring counties. I have some resourses for Tazewell Co if you need a lookup. But, because of time constraints, I will need given names and some sort of time frame for your family.

We haven't developed an Emily Post or Miss Manners for Genealogists yet - but here are some tips from someone who has spent over 30 years on the hobby (also former AZ OGS Newsletter Ed & Cssp. Sec'y): 1. Every research facility is different - and members of the staff vary from very helpful to downright rude & surly. They also vary in size, from rural to big-city professionals. Unless it's a site dedicated to genealogy or history - YOU ARE NOT THEIR PRIORITY ! 2. Courthouses, Newspapers & Public Libraries have other duties besides helping us. They have deadlines & pressures to get their primary work done (just like we do in our "real" jobs), and if you aren't specific on your needs, they probably can't take the time to do more than point you to the general area or genealogy stacks. They have also been "burned" by time-wasting researchers who want the staff to do all the work, and we truly are ROYAL PAINS. Some are under direct orders from their bosses to make genealogy their LAST priority. 3. If you haven't done some basic work before a visit (knowledge thru maps of the County, its history, etc.) you are asking for total frustration. There is NO WAY you can absorb enough background on your area of research in a few hours. 4. Photo copy EVERYTHING you think may apply to your research, then sort it out later. You may spend a few extra dollars, but it's better to throw away unwanted paper than to realize you should have made a copy of X document. This applies to LDS/FHS sites also ! Ancestry Files contain good data - and junk ! Print to paper, then sort later. 3. Historical vs Genealogical Societies: These people are VOLUNTEERS, usually members of the Society - and are really the ones totally immersed in the local data. However - the sites are not staffed 8 hrs a day, 7 days a week. Call or email ahead for hours, etc. 4. Depending on where you research, you may find either total co-operation between the two groups - or they feud like crazy, one holding a vital document, the other not telling you to try the other group. One Ohio County is notorious for having two very active groups - they WILL NOT share data or point you to the other's holdings. 5. Spend a little bit of money - The net & websites are wonderful, but if you are interested in a County, JOIN THE GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY for a year. You will get their Newsletter, notice of publications & make a few contacts who just MIGHT run over to the Courthouse & make those needed copies if you offer to pay them. You also may find a lost relative or new friend who will meet you & help you thru the on-site research maze! 6. BUY BOOKS on the area of reasearch - and read them ! It may be heretical in the age of electronic mail, but BOOKS can be your best friend ! 7. DON'T spend time telling everyone your genealogical life story... BORING ! Stick to the facts & they will be able to be more helpful. 8. Have CASH in small bills & lots of change...the facility is not a bank & most will not take checks- especially for small amounts. 8. Remember to thank everyone - and if someone really went out of their way to be helpful, take time to write a note of thanks after you get home, or go public with a "thank you" on their email site for everyone to read! Regards, Susan Bidwell Williams

Hi I recieved this from Kathy asking me for help. I haven't had to much luck as of yet, I still have a lot more to look at. Does anyone else know anything? Thank you. Ed I am loking for Blevins ancesters: My grandmothers name is Bessie (Blevins) King. She told me that her fathers name is David Blevins, mother Mary, she has two brothers George and Joseph, and a sister Caroline. Bessie was born 1900 in Greenup County, Kentucky. I filed for her Social Security file: this said she has a middle initial of "M", she was born in Coopersville, Kentucky (Greenup County) and her mothers maiden name was Penix. Hello, I have been given your name in search of Blevins and Penix. My grandmother Bessie (Blevins) King was born in 1900; Greenup County, Kentucky: her Social Security Application says Coopersville, Kentucky (Greenup County) Lists her parents as: David Blevins and Mary (Penix) Blevins She had told me her fathers name was David and her mothers name was Mary. Her mother possibly died in the 1920's in Portsmouth, Ohio. I found Bessie working there as a cook in the 1920 census. She told me she had 2 brothers: George and Joseph and a sister: Caroline. This is about all I know of this family. I am attaching a Greenup County map that I found at the Library. Hope you can help. Kathy Davis

I checked several listings and this family is first listed in the 1910 census film on page 93. There was none listed on previous census listings.

Randy, I'm not sure which one you want. There is a Clay Lick, but it's not close to where Greenup Co ever was. It's about 40 miles west of Lexington. Now in Boyd Co, but at one time in Greenup is Clay Jack. If you have a streets program you can search for either name and it will come up for you.

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, The 1810 List of Taxpayers and Heads of Families in Greenup County, Kentucky enumerated three RUCKER households: Elzaphan, Reuben and Wick. Elzaphan and Reuben RUCKER were slaveowners in 1810. The 1811 List included these three RUCKERs: Ambrose, Ephraim and Reuben. Can you help direct me to where in Greenup County the RUCKERs lived in the early 1800's? There was a Rucker's Branch in Greenup County, which I found mentioned in an 1814 Deed, in which Abraham BUFORD sold 100 acres to William DOUGLASS. The 100 acre tract of land was located "on the bank of the Ohio" and also touched Rucker's Branch on one of its borders. Therefore, it would seem that Rucker's Branch could not have been far from the Ohio River. Thank you for your help! Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio

Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, "CLAY LICK CREEK" in Greenup County, Kentucky was the watercourse that Turner CRUMP wanted to build a Water Grist Mill on, according to a Writ of Adquoddamnum dated 19 Sep 1815. I found this document in "Talley's Kentucky Papers", page 359 and 360. Can someone please tell me where Clay Lick Creek was located in Greenup County? Since the document that mentions it was written in 1815, Clay Lick Creek might now be in a different county from Greenup. Thank you for your help in locating Clay Lick Creek. My interest in this proposed Water Grist Mill's location stems from the fact that in the list of Turner CRUMP's neighbors [those who would be affected by the construction of the Mill] were Robert DUGLASS and William DOUGLASS. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio
