Susi - If you want, the local newspaper would probably run an "letter to editor" to help you find the family. The letter you wrote here explains the situation very well. Send to News-Democrat & Leader, P. O. 270, Russellville, KY 42276. Send it attention Chris Cooper and tell her Judy at the Genealogical Society suggested this source. ----- Original Message ----- From: susi c pentico To: kylogan@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [KYLOGAN] GIBSON Surname Thanks I will try that route.
