Hi, I have a new group on yahoogroups that is a family-oriented group and is for a mixture of genealogy, recipes, prayer requests, sharing stories, poems, news, photos, and chatting. Most of our family research is from the SE Kentucky area, but is not limited to Kentucky. If anyone would like an invitation, please let me know. The group is called Familyandmore. Thank you, Charlotte Miller

This is an absolutely wonderful site, BUT if one can't get back past a g.g.grandfather, and can find no records to tell who his parents were, then one wouldn't know if or when they found his family. From a few census records I found I know my g.g.gr.father was supposedly born in VA. Let me tell you who he is once again just in case someone new is onboard now. He is George Wm. Miller, b. abt. 1830 who married a Priscilla Boling b. June 1837, probably in KY. I found them after they were married in the 1860 Perry Co., KY census with several small children, married abt. 1853 in Perry Co. KY. They both disappeared after they were divorced. I can't find George at all (probably remarried). Did find Priscilla who was listed in the Sturgeon District of the 1900 Lee County KY Census as living with Evan Miller and wife Mary and their children George, Harvey, Archie and Floyd. Listed as mother, born June 1837, mother of 11 children, 9 living, 62 years old and born KY(?) name of Gilbert. By 1910, can't find her. I question whether or not there was ever a "formal" wedding for Priscilla and Unknown Gilbert - no records whatsoever have been found. There are other interesting tidbits in these two peoples lives - but if anyone can fill in any pertinent details for me, it sure would be appreciated.

The family consisted of Jesse Lovins who married Lizzie Roberts and had a son, Steve, born in Breathitt County in 1926. Jesse had a brother, Curtis Lovins who lived in Perry and Knott Counties and died 11 April 1988. I would like any information on this family or of any of their descendants. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've hit a brick wall with this family. Steve moved to Indiana and had a family there and passed away in March 1986.

Hi Charlotte, Not sure if anyone answered you, and I was super busy myself. I was just now going through my older emails and saw yours below. I have Preston Smith's parents as Jeremiah Smith and Elizabeth Jones. Not sure where I got all this, but Jeremiah was also married to a Francis Judd.

Hi Gang, With the help of Ben & Betty Engle we now have the Combs FEMALE marriages on back to 1852. Good work! Guys. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyperry3/perrycokymarriageindex.html Lynda

Hi Gang, There is a new button on the "Perry Co Stuff Pages" called "Perry Co Native Americans". I had asked our own Carolyn Allen Brannon to do a write up on what she knew about the Cherokee in Perry Co and in general and what all she says brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Carolyn for your thoughts. I also asked JimBob to design the pages and he did an outstanding job. Its beautiful. Go look! http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyperry3/perrycokystuffpage.html Lynda

A while back JimBob, and I did the 1920 Perry Co census. I incorrectly listed Tannie Combs as Fannie. I just went back and looked at the census image again and I see now that it's probably Tannie instead.
