Hi, I've been having the same problem. I've hit a brickwall with my 4th ggrandfather David L. May. I'm looking for his parents. He died in Perry Co. In in 1879. His obit from Perry Co. says he was born in Hardin Co. I believe is was 1802. I went to Nelson & Hardin Co's & searched the records, but could not find any trace of him. So, I could not find his parents. I have not been to Perry Co, In in person. The genealogist there looked up his obit for me & told me what it said. But I did go to KY. There are ALOT of May's in both counties in KY, but I could tie them to David. I even joined the May surname project at www.familytreedna.com My paternal uncle gave a sample, but so far no luck. Can anyone give me a reason WHY he would not be found in either Hardin OR Nelson Co? Thanks, Cindy Meeks
