I've just added 50+ new records to the site, mostly death certificates and one military. Please take a look around and check back often. I still have a few more that need a closer look before posting. A big thank you to all who've contributed and especially to Jeri and JR for such generosity and patience while I've worked on these. It's been difficult all summer to get back on track but now looking forward to settling in for some winter time research :-) Kathy Kentucky Couch Kin http://swapasource.com

My condolences, also... However... I know this is rather tacky, but I'm at a loss... my mother-in-law's mother was married to Garfield Sizemore and we are trying to locate any of her half-brothers and sisters. Can anyone help?

Enlisted on 10/1/1862 in Breathitt Co., transferred from Co. G to I on 4/30/1863. Union officials said he participated in the ambush of the 6th Kentucky.

Samuel Campbell and Miss Betty Combs were married. They had a violin or fiddle, we all called it, and the girls were fine dancers. An old lady by the name of Peggy Combs was there.

Could someone help me clear up this name in my file. I have David Fair Smith that married Mallie Stone. I have an obituary of a David Smith b. March 30, 1921, and he was born to Mallie Gilliam. Was this David the son of David Fair or someone else who married a Mallie? This David Fair Smith is called Junior Glo Everyone doesn't have to answer all at once. <grin>

I'm still looking for a picture of Rebecca Branham-Smith Pigman (b. 1835 /d. 1929) the wife of William (Billy) Pigman. She was my gg grandmother and the person I'm named for. Rebecca Campbell Christmas
