This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FBB.2ACE/872 Message Board Post: The Minor, Miner yDNA Project is just starting up. If you or your cousins are male and carry the Minor, Miner last name--or should but don't due to past parental divorce or an adoption, I hope that you will participate in one of these studies. We personally believe this will be the only way we can figure out where our Minor, Miner ancestors came from, and how the various Minor, Miner family groups are interrelated. More information about the studies can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/minordnaproject/index.htm Please contact me Jim Carpenter by clicking on the email icon on each home page if you have questions about these studies.

I have recently found some letters (I got copies from Frankfort) written by a Doctor that worked on Line fork in the 20's and 30's. The letters are very colorful and full of detail. If you have family in and around Gilley, Jake's Creek, Bear Branch, Coyle's (sp) branch, Greasy, leatherwood, etc, You want to see these. A sample can be seen at: http://history.ky.gov/Archives%20week/Documenting%20a%20KY%20Journey%20-%20Area%20G/Pine%20Mt.%20transcript.htm Rick Moehring
