Hi Everyone, Many of you might not be aware that as of October 23, 2002, the 1880 US Census Index, 1881 Canadian and 1881 British Census Indexes are available free at: http://www.familysearch.org Support "Free Genealogy" for all. If you have transcribed records, make them available to all researchers. This mailing list is not to advertise any "Genealogy" research material for personal or commercial profit. Elva

While Darlene Sizemore and I were indexing the 1930 Leslie Co. KY census, we often had difficulty determining the actual names on the forms. To assist in deciphering some of them, we referred to the INDEX TO KY BIRTHS, among other resources, for guidance to given names, etc. Our index presents the names as we saw them on the census forms. The index, available on cd, is a valuable resource for identifying those born after 1911. HOWEVER, a comparison of the index to the 1930 Leslie Co census, shows many of those early births are not included in the index. I do not know if the same is true of all KY counties but can only verify that many children listed on the 1930 Leslie Co. census were not in the index! This is simply to alert you, that when using the birth index, (which is only a source leading to the actual birth certificate), you may not find the person listed for whom you are looking - for many reasons: 1- typographical errors in creating index 2- misreading of actual birth record 3- birth certificate never filed 4- birth certificate never existed. My suggestion is that you search the index under both the mother's maiden name and the child's name, using any variety of spellings. Be aware that even then, although the person existed, the birth may not be listed! Good luck in your family searching! Hermina Brinkmeier (Dayton, OH) Exploring branches of the family tree!

Hello all. This message is for anyone who is researching the Saylor & Knuckles families. On Monday, October 14, 2002, John B. Saylor passed away from a long illness. JB was my neighbor who lived a few miles down the road and my late father LJ Woolum's first cousin. JB's parents were Charles C Saylor and Ida Knuckles of Bell County, Kentucky. JB's mother Ida Knuckles was the sister of my late father's mother Mary Knuckles Woolum. The following link will take you to the obit for anyone interested. I'm sure there will be another obit in the Pineville newspaper since JB is from the area and he still has a sister and brothers that live in Red Bird. If anyone finds the obit from Pineville, please email me a copy. I have the original from the Richmond Palladium-Item if anyone would like to have a copy. http://www.pal-item.com/news/stories/20021015/obituaries/295047.html Robin Woolum (PowWow) ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ ~*~*~ [email protected] [email protected] ICQ# 2146179 Visit my Web Page!!! http://www.globalsite.net/rwoolum/ Subscribe to the "Woolum" Family Mailing list!!!

Abijah was the son of Blevins & Rebecca Sizemore. Taylor was brother of my grf Nelson b 3/1892/94. I lost track of Taylor after the 1900 Clay census which shows him in the home of his uncle Green Jackson, and living next door to Charity who is w her parents Isaac & Eliz Jackson. Nelson is in the Leslie Census w father Abijah (Bige) at the home of Blevins & REBEcca. Could this be the same Taylor/ Thanks BJ Rolando

Any descendants out there for Hiram Jones. He shows in Clay County in 1860's through 1870's. When Leslie County was formed he then showed in 1880's Leslie County . . .not that he moved, but more than likely due to the new county lines established. I am particularly interested in his daughter America Jones, her marriages and descendants. Her burial place.
