I normally don't give you two tips in one week, but it is important that this post be made. Several years ago, I did a series on the noted feuds in Kentucky - one being the JONES and WRIGHT feud and the REYNOLDS and WRIGHT feuds. My sources, which normally are correct, contained errors and a descendant read them. He wanted to make some corrections to the original accounts and I felt it important enough to post his email, in total, and with his permission, to "set the record straight." I have no further information, this is for your information only. Dear Ms. Gorin, I saw your contribution, 'Feudin', Fightin' and Fussin' ' on Ancestry.com. I looked further and was amazed at all your other contributions. You mention the two feuds, Jones and Wright and Reynolds and Wright as being connected. This had to come either directly or indirectly from Noah M. Reynolds's account, 'The Mountain Feuds of Eastern Kentucky'. These two Feuds were not connected in anyway. The Jones and Wright feud occurred in the 1880's and was between Bad John Wright and Claib Jones. This was a conflict between lawmen from Knott county and lawmen from Letcher county. In his account, Noah Reynolds has William S. Wright involved in this trouble when, in fact, he had nothing to do with it. This trouble between John Wright and Claib Jones pretty much ended by the late 1880's. Noah Reynolds, the leader of the KKK in Letcher county, would slander the man he murdered from ambush in his account. William S. Wright had strongly opposed the KKK in Letcher county and this cost him his life. John Wright was a second cousin to William S. Wright. They knew each other but were not closely acquainted. The Reynolds and Wright feud you mention was a struggle between William S. Wright's family and the Ku Klux Klan, it had nothing to do with the Jones-Wright Feud. Noah M. Reynolds, Morgan Reynolds and John Reynolds organized and led the KKK in Letcher county in the 1890's. Noah and John Reynolds were neighbors to William S. Wright. On your site it states that the Reynolds-Wright feud died down in 1900. This is not true. It escalated because on January 30, 1900, the same day William Goebel was assassinated, William S. Wright was assassinated by the KKK. He was shot from ambush. The bullet that entered the left side of his head behind his ear was an exploding dynamite bullet and, on exiting, it blew the right side of his face off. Following this the KKK repeatedly attacked William S. Wright's family on their farm. It was a very difficult time for them. In November of 1900 the KKK raided the home of Mrs. Jemima Hall and murdered her and her son, Sherwood Reynolds. They robbed her as well. It was at this point that John Wright, who was a deputy sheriff in Letcher county, joined in the effort to capture the killers of Mrs, Hall and her son and disperse the KKK. Since many of John's nephews were in the KKK he had, up to this point, avoided any confrontation with them. Except for trying, half-heartedly, to arrest Noah and John Reynolds. William Wright, a son of William S. Wright, and two of his brothers, were deputized to help capture the killers of Mrs. Hall, her son, and their father. The KKK would also shoot William from ambush. He was murdered by the KKK when he was 18. This happened on 10, April 1901. Not long after this the members of the KKK were either all captured or had left the State. Most of them got away with the brutal murder of Mrs. Hall and her son, Sherwood Reynolds. The KKK in Letcher and surrounding counties preyed upon poor women, some of whom did make money from men. If they were poor and had no family support this was the only way some of them could survive. The KKK would whip them with barbed switches and make them tell where their money was. The KKK whipped, beat and raped women. It claimed to be a group formed to enforce morality but it was nothing but a group of thugs. Many of its members were from the most prosperous families in the county. Some of the counties highest officials were supporters of the KKK. Several lawmen were in the KKK and were involved in the murder of Mrs. Jemima Hall and her son. The KKK also resorted to robbing travelers on Pound gap and other locations. It would mean alot to me if you would correct this information in your past and any future postings regarding the so-called Reynolds and Wright Feud. I have considerable documentation regarding these things. I am the grandson of William S. Wright and my father ran with his mother to William's body just after William was assassinated. They heard the gun fire. We have remained silent for a century because we have always feared the KKK. Sincerely, Ben Luntz Col.

I'm intruding on your time again today. Over 150 people have joined this list today, likely for the divorce posts I'll be making for the next few weeks. So - this is for the new subbers as well as the "older" ones. You may see the other 350ish researching tips I've posted over the years by clicking on the following: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.st ates.kentucky.tips It's one of those long URL's that might not totally link so if you get a page not found msg, come back to this msg and copy the end of the URL and paste it on the page with no spaces. There are tips on old roads and forts (including as many residents as I can find), all the Rev War soldiers in KY who applied for pensions, how to interpret various county documents, how to preserve your records, settlements of the counties, POW's and killed in action soldiers in the newer wars, where to find records, etc. etc. Thank you for joining the list - you'll only get one post a week (except for today and emergencies!) and it is not a query list. You will have to write me directly if you have a problem, the list is set up so I alone can post. I don't answer queries about individuals, but will try to point you in the right direction if you have a question about KY and its records, old laws, etc. Sandi Col.

According to noted historian, Roseann R. Hogan in her wonderful book "Kentucky Ancestry, A Guide to Genealogical and Historical Research": "Early divorces could be recorded in the Acts of Kentucky until as late as 1850. These early records are indexed in the Kentucky Historical Society for the period 1792 to 1849 in a card catalog file drawer. The bills themselves, and the names of the parties, will also be indexed by Hening's Statutes (Hening 1823). Later divorce records may be found in the circuit court records in the county of residence, which will show a divorce as a chancery or equity case. Since July of 1958, divorces have been recorded in the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics in Frankfort; copies of divorce decrees dating and 1958 can be obtained and that office." I also pulled references and Hening's Statutes, copies of which I borrowed and a local lawyer. So many have asked for a common reference for these divorces and I present below (not my original compilation - taken and the records of the KY Historical Society, Hening's Statutes, etc. ), the divorces that were recorded. Shirley Reynolds has also researched these divorces and some can be found at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ky/state/vitals/divorces/div1-2.txt These are in alphabetical order by the party's name who filed for divorce, although there are instances where they are shown both under the husband's name and the wife's name and it's impossible to ascertain who filed. If the wife's maiden name was restored (as was often asked), the maiden name will be shown in brackets. I do not have the county of residence on the majority of these. Date shown is the date of divorce as granted by the Kentucky State Legislature, thus you will see several divorces with the same date.

TIP 391 - WHY DON'T YOU MARRY A LAWYER DEAR? Ah, the dream of mothers world-wide; to have their daughter marry a lawyer (or a doctor)! Good money, easy work, right? Wrong! The field of law has changed greatly over the years from the individual who learned his practice from "hearing" the law read from another lawyer, to the first law schools set up in Kentucky, to the profession it has become. Now sometimes regarded as one of the practices one doesn't trust, or one of which there is an over-abundance, the job of the lawyer has always been a fascinating one. I salute the lawyers of Kentucky past and present; as with any career, there were good ones and those who weren't so good. In the early days of interpreting the law in Kentucky, there were challenges not faced today. Our Kentucky laws were based so heavily on Virginia laws and little by little laws were modified, created or done away with to make Kentucky's legal system its own. Having access to many old law books on loan, I have compiled a list of lawyers found in Kentucky in the year 1859. If any are missing, I apologize, these were the only ones named in the legal library of one of our family members who had several generations of lawyer's blood running in their veins and had many of the original editions of records. There might be variations in the spelling, some lawyers were recently retired. This is a long list so will take several posts!

Kentucky was west to most of our early settlers and wagons had to be used. A single man or a small family might make the trek on horseback or in a little farm wagon, leading pack horses laden with what goods they could bring with them. But most people loaded their life's belongings in a wagon of some sort, taking only the most necessary essentials with them. I can imagine the wife crying when she had to leave some of her beloved dishes, furniture, books and hand made treasures behind with family and friends in order to have space in the wagon for the children, chickens and basic essentials for this wild frontier called Kentucky. Of course, the more monied would be able to bring more as they could get more wagons. Two main wagons were used - the Conestoga and the Prairie Schooner. As these wagons have for so long intrigued me, I thought I would share a little information about them for all the city folk reading this, or the younger generation that have only seen them on old re-runs of westerns on television. THE CONESTOGA According to all references I was able to check, no one really knows the history of the Conestoga wagon. The earliest reference was from the secretary of William Penn in which he refers to the wagon in 1717. No explanation has been found as to why it was called that, or if it was named for the town of Conestoga. The wagon used by Penn was used to transport goods that he had bargained for with the Indians back to Philadelphia and for transporting furs to be traded with England. It is assumed that the original Conestago wagon was smaller than what we see pictured today. The roads of that time would have been wooded, rutted; mere Indian trails. It is believed they were higher giving the driver a better view of the path ahead of him. Whatever their original appearance, the Conestoga wagon was modified through the years; being likely just a farm wagon in the beginning with a cover over it to protect the goods. The bottom of the wagon had a bow to it so the goods wouldn't slide around as much; springs it did not have! The wheels were over-sized so it could ford the streams and clear the rocks strewed in the pathways. Materials used in the wagon were various with several types of wood used. The wood had to be sturdy and different woods were used for the body and the wheels. A wagon maker was a very honored craftsman who knew which woods worked the best. He knew not to use green wood (freshly-cut) but to pick trees that had been cut 3-5 years prior - allowing for aging and curing. It made for easier cutting and the appearance. They were made to specification, thus came in various sizes. The largest were from 14-16 feet long and demanded 6 strong horses to pull them. They were painted with red wheels, blue frame, white canvas top - quite patriotic! To save room, the driver would often walk beside the wagon; or sit on what was called a lazy board - not only did it not have springs, it didn't have any seats. People who rode this board did get razzed for being lazy! The wagon builder equipped the Conestoga with equipment. It had to have a feed box for the animals as the settlers often herded cattle, horses, oxen, chicken, etc. behind the wagon. There was a water bucket for the horses and other livestock which had to be replenished at each creek or river they came to. And like any well equipped mechanic of today, there was a tool box for minor repairs. It could contain grease, jacks (to remove the wheel) and other small equipment. It had to have an axe which was used for many purposes including cutting down trees and saplings in the middle of the trail. Mile after mile of arduous progress, the driver walked along side the team. He had a long rein which was normally connected to the first horse on the left. This rein along with oral commands kept the horses hopefully on the correct path! One historical source said that possibly this is why Americans learned to drive on the right side of the road once Mr. Ford came out with his car! The speed of the horses going down hills was controlled by a chain which was fastened on the back wheel called a wheel lock chain. This locked up the wheel so it couldn't rotate any more but rather slide, slowing in the process. There was a "jockey box" which was either on the front of the wagon or on the left side which was large enough to hold the water barrel and a chicken coop. Some had a brake lever attached to the front left wheel. The canvas covering was caled the "bonnet". This was beveled outward to keep rain from coming into under the bonnet. (Courtesy: 1 The Journal of the Lancaster County Historical Society, Vol. 57, No. 5., The Earliest Use of the term "Conestoga Wagon". by Evelyn A. Benson and other sources.) PRAIRIE SCOONERS: Later settlers or traders going west loved the Conestoga, but it was just too big. In some instances horses just couldn't be used and mules or oxen were preferred. Two dozen oxen or mules could be hooked up to pull the Conestoga and could still haul heavy loads, but it was often too much for the team and they lost many animals who simply died in the traces. So, the Prairie Scooner was invented - it was half-scale in size to the Conestoga. It was only 4 feet wide and 10-12 feet long. When the yokes and tongues are included, it was 23 feet long; with the bonnet it was 10 feet tall. It weighed only 1300 pounds empty and was easier to repair. It could be pulled by 4-6 oxen or 6-10 mules and due to a lighter weight, the mortality of the team was lengthened. The Prairie Scooner had been designed and manufactured by the Studebaker brothers and then by an entire new worker called the wainwright. Another bonus for this mini version is that it was excellent shelter in inclement weather. The wagon bed which was also known as the wagon box, was again a hardwood that was not prone to shrinking in dry air. It was 2-3 feet deep and by tarring it, would be water-tight. It floated easily across streams that were calm. It had side boards which were beveled outward to again keep the rain from coming in under the bottom seams of the bonnet. There were two sets of wheels, each different sizes - the rear wheels were about 50 inches in diameter while the front were only 44 inches. This let the wagon take somewhat sharper corners. The wheeled had iron "tires" to protect the wooden rims; again made out of hardwood. The bows which held up the bonnets were likewise of hardwood; one piece of wood soaked until they were formed into the bow shape. If they weren't done correctly, the bow wouldn't hold its shape and it would tear the bonnet. The bonnet was simply homespun cotton, likely made at some woman's spinning wheel at the point of origin. The bonnets weren't normally painted (except for the ones you see in the movies with "Pike's Peak or Bust" on them!) because it caused the material to stiffen and split. It was fastened tightly against the winds they might encounter - the edges were overlapped in the back to keep out the rain or snow. The wagon had most of the same additions as its bigger brother - jockey boxes which carried extra iron bolts, linch pins, skeins, nails, hoop iron, jacks and other tools. Along the side could be fastened the water barrels, chicken coops, butter churns, tar buckets, feed, shovels and axes. There was one set of springs on the Scooner, under the driver's seat. But to say that it made for a comfortable ride would not be true; thus the driver still normally walked. It has been said that some trails were so rough that the settler would fill his butter churn with fresh milk in the morning and due to the bouncing all day long, a lump of butter would be ready for the evening meal! FARM WAGONS Many travelers who could not afford the Conestoga or the Prairie Scooner settled on modifying their farm wagons. It was just a basic wagon with ends straight up and down. The bed of the wagon was not bowed like the previous two wagons, but it was learned how to pack the goods so tightly that they couldn't shift en route. A large farm wagon could carry up to 4,000 pounds; the small wagon 2-3,000 pounds. Both kinds of wagons could come apart in three parts - the cover, the wagon box, and the undercarriage and running gear. The wheels were part of the running gear. The back wheel was bigger than the front wheel. The wagons were pulled by mules, horses, or oxen. Hickory was normally chosen for the tongue and bows; oak for the spokes; iron for the axle and tires. Earlier models didn't have brakes but after a few painful lessons in how to stop a runaway wagon, brakes were added! Since this wagon was so much smaller, more people walked along side the wagon instead of riding with the youngest children, pregnant women or the elderly getting the honor of bumping along the route. Many people (we won't say here it was always the women folk!) also learned early that they had packed way too much and the trails could be littered with goods thrown out to make the load lighter. The farm wagon wasn't as secure in the mud or rivers as it's bigger relative. It was a lot easier for them to get mired in, tip over in the water and sink. I have been told several times that the first trails through Kentucky were the buffalo paths. Cherished by the Indians for its meat, skins, and horns (the Indian/Native American wasted no part of the buffalo), the buffalo was hunted constantly. I marveled at the first buffalo that I saw; I had not imagined it so large, so strong, so magnificant. As the buffalo plodded the same routes year after year, they packed down the ground until their path was lower than the ground around them. Supposedly, buffalo also traveled 2 x 2 - one buffalo next to another, which the correct width for a wagon to follow. In conclusion - it was not an easy trip. The trails, which in the beginning wound through the timbers and crossed swollen streams, eventually developed into well-known trails that were slightly smoother and wider. Men hired on to lead wagon trains from east to west, men who had been on the route hopefully before and knew the best and safest routes. Weather, Indians, becoming lost, have a crooked (or fearful) wagon train leader, illness, injury - all faced the settlers going to Kentucky and beyond. Many, many died along the trail and were buried along side the trail with nothing to show of their existence but a mounded grave and a piece of a wood formed into a cross with the name or initials carved on it. Names we'll never know, brave adventurers trying to reach the next "promised land". They were driven to seek the new lands of Kentucky by the tales coming back from those who had been there. The soil is rich, the creeks and rivers the purest, the trees the tallest .... And they came, family after family. Picture yourself on a star light night in the middle of the timber. Coyotes howling. Rustling among the leaves and the yellow eyes of a wolf staring at you. No one within 50 miles. The child is sick and crying, burning up with fever. The lead horse has died from overwork. The almost totally silent rustle of leaves as an Indian nears to see the white man, tomahawk in hand. The grandmother who didn't make it because the trip was just too long, the heat too much, the rains too cold. The baby dying in birth after the mother had walked too many miles, helped push the wagon when it got stuck. Could we have made this trip?

I am learning: I am not an expert. Neither am I a good guesser! One of the hardest things for me to do is to know the time frame a picture was taken. Many books have been written on the fashions of various eras and the reader, with a little patience, can search the web and become more knowledgeable. Most of the "upper class" of these various decades had the ability and the finances to dress their finest when the photographer or the portrait taker came to capture their likeness. Even the average citizen, or the poorest, always wanted to look their best and would pose with great pride in their hand-made clothes. I can imagine the excitement in the family before the picture taking was started; Mother fussing with the hair of the children or straightening the tie on their husband; children impatiently sitting in the preferred pose. (Some things never change!) And did you notice, they never smiled in the earlier pictures? The "Smile!" had not been invented yet; it appears that each person was to sit quietly and somberly. This is not a complete study of the clothing styles of various decades but is a basis for you to start with and expand so that it will be easier for you to date some of those old tin-types, cardboard backed photos or postal card style photos you have in that big box with nothing written on the back! 1840-1850: Women: Women of this time frame wore floor length dresses which had bell-shaped skirts. This covered layer upon layer of petticoats. The lady suffered with a tight fitting corset under all of this and caused the bustline to be flattened. The sleeves on the dresses were extremely narrow; the bodice was long and again, tight. Closures were in the back. The collars and sleeves were always white. Ladies were normally adorned in bonnets with a brim that was deep. A cape was often seen which was known as a "pelerine". The neckline was often adorned with wide ribbons as was many times the waist. Hair styles were normally quite identical from woman to woman with the hair parted in the middle and pulled back, covering the ears. If it was a younger woman, long gentle curls could hang around their face. Fancy jewelry was seldom seen unless a gold chain or black cord on which was fastened a gold watch or a pencil (which seldom showed in the photograph). Men: Their coats had long and narrow sleeves that were tightly fitted under the arm. There was a tie and a vest, and quite often they were photographed with their hat. The ties were of a medium width and tied like a bow tie. Facial hair was normally limited to a little beard running from the sideburns under the chin. Occasionally younger men wore moustaches and the style was with ends that turned down. Many men in photographs of this area were clean shaven. 1850-1860: Women: The skirts widened. "Bloomers" came into vogue for a short period which was the short skirt with the ankle length trousers under them. However, most women didn't give into the times and wore the standard skirts. Corsets were still around but for the mature woman, the corsets were shortened and finally all the ladies began using this style. The dress changed to a one piece outfit with long waist and "bishop sleeves" and the opening was at the front. Wider collars came into vogue and necklines were more open. Collars were up to three and a half inches wide and flat. They didn't stand up as in earlier collars. Petticoats were still around but were being replaced by the hooped skirt. The bonnets had shallow sides. The hair styles were adorned with large loops of hair covering the top of the ears, which changed slightly downards the end of the decade into soft loops and the entire ear might be covered. Men: Their fashions didn't change as drastically. Double breasted vests were seen and the collars were notched. The neckties changed to 2 inch wide silk black or checked cloth that extended out on one side. The men were fairly well clean shaven during this time with beards coming into style towards the end. The younger men had their own style - a tall "wave" at the center of their forehead. Hair on the side became longer towards the end of the decade, sometimes covering the entire ear. 1860-1870: Women: Clothes and accessories were at a premium during the Civil War period; especially in the southern states. The materials were used for the war effort instead of gracing the bodies of men and women. Since sewing machines were now available to those who could afford it, women still tried to look as beautiful as possible, despite the circumstances. Alterations were now the rule, changing their older clothes to look more up-dated. The full skirts began to be slenderized by the middle of the decade and they were flat across the front. But, behind .... more and more material and more extension. Braiding was used to fancy up an older outfit. The dresses were short-waisted as the years passed by and the shoulders were long and at a slope. They fastened in the front with buttons. The small collar style was back and dresses were often tight at the neck. Wide, bell shaped sleeves were seen; and the belt appeared with large buckles. Ornaments around the neck were going out of vogue and sometimes there were narrow ribbons. The ladies' hair had the center part and pulled back tightly behind the ears; the loops of the previous decade was "out." The hair net made its appearance during this time frame but were normally invisible in photographs. Men: Most of the younger, healthier men (and some of the older ones) had to settle for uniforms during this time - serving for the North or South. Those who did not serve made do with the styles of the previous decade. Towards the end of the Civil War when men could get back into their non-military garb, they wore shorter coats with narrow sleeves. The vests remained which had a collar and a narrow lapel. For dressy occasions they had stiff shirt collars; for normal wear, the collar was folded down. Ties changed again (do they ever not change?) and were narrow, with the ends hanging down from the knot of the tie. Beards were very popular. Hair was parted at the side now and smoothed back away from the face. 1870-1880: Women: American women during this time period were influenced by European fashions. Thus began the latest French styles! But the war (Franco-Prussian) affected this and America itself was in a recession by the middle of this decade. For the first half of the decade, women's dresses had that quite noticeable bustle and the dress pulled back and tight giving them a slimmer appearance. The short corsets went long again and the waistline was quite high. This changed again during the last half of the decade. The two-piece dress was introduced during this time. It had a quite long bodice and the skirt. The jacket portion was fastened in the front or left open with a vest under the jacket. The colors chosen were normally black or a dark color. Pleats and flounces made their appearance; and little button shaped earrings became popular. Hair styles became higher on the head and black velvet ribbons (narrow) were tied at the back with a bow and a brooch around the front at the neckline. Men: The jackets were narrower and fit the body more closely. Shirts moved from white, white and white, to various colors, often with patterns. Neckties became much wider and was tied in a loose knot with square ends. Beards were basically out this decade. 1880: Women: With imports, sewing machines and more to chose from, the woman could now buy what we later called "ready to wear" clothes. She could chose the more formal attire for fancier occasions; or casual wear for around home. Skirts were fuller again and still had some padding in the back. But the bustle hadn't given up way and made a return appearance; pads were often now added to the sides to make the hips look much wider. Then narrow skirts came back into popularity and the bustle image faded. The narrow skirt became the chosen style with a high bodice with high collars. Sleeves shortened and were also narrow, did not cover the wrist. Men: Better tailored styles wee seen and the men wore short jackets with narrow lapels. The coat closed at the throat and almost covered the tie. Sleeves were narrowed; shirts were back to white and collars were either standing and stiff or folding and narrow. Mustaches became very popular and some men wore beards. 1890-1900: Women: Mutton-leg sleeves were all the rage and developed and changed each year it seems. The sleeves were tight in the arms during the earlier years and the shoulder top had a puff. The next year the puff envelopes the upper sleeve. The next year the puff gets larger widest around the shoulder and narrowing down to the wrist. In two years, tit is wider yet and stiff. The largest puff was in 1896 and started worked their way back down in size the next year. Corsets were looser. Men: The narrow and short coat was in and noticeable were the short sleeves of the coat which exposed the cuff of the shirt. The coats buttoned all the way up the front with black being the acceptable color. White shirts stayed in vogue for the "doing the town" occasions, but appeared in colors for more casual wear. Stiff, short collars had sharp points. Bow ties were still seen, but most men were wearing the "hanging tie" I hope this will give you some interest in doing more investigating into the subject of dating photographs by clothing. There are many more ways of dating which I will share at a later date. (c) Copyright 4 April 2002, Sandra K. Gorin, All Rights Reserved. sgorin@glasgow-ky.com Col.

TIP #385 - TRADITION How many of you remember the wonderful song from "Fiddler on the Roof" called "Tradition"? This is one of my favorite Broadway plays and the music from this production always stirs my heart. What does tradition have to do with genealogy? A lot. Many of us are "blessed" <not> when we can't find much on our family. Maybe they were not elected unanimously to a high office. Maybe they didn't attend a fancy college. Maybe they were even on the wrong side of the law! As you know from my past tips, the dates and begats are crucially important, but I want to know more. I want to know the PERSON, not just the events. I want to know how they lived, what they did, who their friends were, how they spent their time, where they went to church, how it was in the battlefield, how did they feel, etc. That's not always easy, or possible, but when we can, we can get a sense of belonging. It's hard to explain in words, but I think you know what I mean. We know that scientifically their DNA, their genes, their outward appearance, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and frailities, are passed on to us, generation after generation. We are allowed by our Creator to have a dib of our great-grandfather, a dab of our 20th generation back grandmother! Thus, it's a wonderful thing to know a little more about them on a personal basis. We can look at our off-spring and proudly say that he has his father's chin; or she has her great-grandmother's eyes ... but when possible, what else do they have that has been painstakingly passed on with each new birth? I'll call this tradition. So you can't find anything spectacular on your family (or if you're fortunate, you can!). What do you REALLY know about your family? Perhaps all your immediate family has passed on, or forgotten their past. You can still do a little snooping! There is nothing more painful for me to hear than when an individual has died and left no records - diaries, photos, certificates - nothing. Or, that a trying-to-be-helpful family member trashed everything. Tradition can be broken down into two sub-categories - Oral Tradition and Oral History. Oral Tradition: I don't have any documentation of public records. You might see this in cemetery records, marriage records ... and it means that although there is no written record found, by oral tradition, John and Mary married on this date or Pete is buried there. The information can come from living sources who "remember when they had the funeral" or "I stood up with them"; but the document has been lost. Marriages that were not recorded (or lost) can be proved based on other official documents. Implied marriages are those proven by another legal document such as a deed or will distribution. As an example, one of our Gorin family back quite early in Kentucky left no marriage certificate trail. We know they were married but how can we prove it? Well .. back in Virginia, the man's mother died. They traveled from Todd Co KY to Fairfax Co VA and are written up in the settlement of her estate. The words "George Harrison and his wife ....... " This is the only legal documentation we can obtain. Or a cemetery stone which shows William Whatchamacallit and his beloved wife Morticia. In doing your family records, you need to indicate whether your record sources were by oral tradition, i.e, you did the best you could and from all evidence so and so did this or was there. Maybe your grandchildren will find it later! Oral History: I think this is the fun part of genealogy and I've been working on this a lot during the last few weeks. Again, it boils down to the fact that we can't prove or disprove it, but it surely is a good story. Many years ago, a dear lady, now deceased, wrote me to say that she was preparing a family history for her grandchildren. She was stumped on something though; her "crazy Aunt so and so" kept telling her that her (the writer)'s grandfather was a no good so and so and hung in Glasgow. She stressed that her dear aunt wasn't all with it and wanted to know if I'd heard of the hanging. I wrote her back (pre-email days!) and asked her if she would like an 8 x 10 glossy of the hanging! It certainly did exist and when she came out of shock, she came down to Glasgow to visit me and I did give her a picture of the hanging - the one and only hanging photo I'd ever seen. (We became close friends over the years too). So her aunt wasn't as crazy as they thought! She was quite open about the hanging in her book and didn't try to disguise the fact by saying that he "hung around town" on such and such a day! Older people love to tell stories. Over and over sometimes! But listen, take notes, or have them dictate them into a tape recorder, or video tape them. Oh the wonderful information you can find on your family. Things were different then; they had more time to sit on the front porch swing and just gab. Problems with what they say? Yes, sometimes. With the passage of time, these stories may have been told hundreds of times with little variations added as the memory faded. Maybe the fellow was not 8 feet tall, but just looked that way to a young child. Maybe she didn't win all the baking contests for 50 years, but she was a great cook. Older people will seldom lie about what happened oh so many years ago, but they might embellish. That's ok! It'll be pretty obvious, but never call them a liar! I'll put this on a personal nature for a minute to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. My precious Dad died back in 1996. He was a wonderful story-teller, but like most younger people, I didn't pay a lot of attention. Relative's names bored me, the stories faded from my mind. Now, I am fighting to get them back! He had 5 sisters, only one is living. She is sharp and dear to me and lives a goodly distance away. She had given me some information earlier when I did a little family book for my Dad but I knew she had a lot more to say. When I asked her recently to please, tell me more about your lives ... her reply was "honey, it's just a batch of uninteresting things to this generation". I was almost on my hands and knees via long distance and got her talking. In five minutes, I learned who my Daddy was. Tales of hard work, bread truck routes, selling apples along the road in the Depression, sneaking into the theatre because one of the sisters didn't have the nickel it cost; of the Salvation Army annual visit to their tiny town and my aunt singing on a wooden stool to raise money for them.... this is PRICELESS! My Dad always told the story of a tornado that ripped through Chestnut, IL where he was raised and of it killing his best friend. Just two weeks ago, I met the grand niece of that little boy she has sent me over 50 pages from various newspapers in the area describing the tornado, what the children went through, who lost what and a little boy trying to catch all the baby chicks from a hatchery and sticking them under his shirt to take home. Don't stories like this make YOUR family history more interesting? I learned that one of my great-grandfathers was a Methodist Church exhorter... I didn't know that! Now I have a picture of the church where he served and will soon have stories about him. THIS is genealogy the way it should be! What I would suggest - and it's only my idea. You know that if something is put in print, it becomes Gospel truth; we've discussed that before. But if you want to publish your family records - just for the family or for sale; the oral history stories are important. They must be preserved. But ... on the other hand, you aren't sure of all the facts and have no way of verifying them. What I'm doing is putting the stories in a special section with disclaimers. I use a genealogy program that allows for notes - most of them do now. After all the statistical information on the individual and the regular notes where you show sources, information from confirming documents, etc. I add note called "Oral History". In that category, I state that these are the stories that so and so told me. I have no way of verifying all the information now but found this to be extremely interesting and a great insight into the person. Then I type in all the stories that I've been told that family members need to remember. A lot of time, this jogs the memory of the reader too (if he/she is kin) and they can add more stories. Through these stories, oral history, a real person starts to develop. You gain insight as to what they liked or disliked, who their friends were, school stories, hardships during the Depression or wars ... the list is endless. I like to take those friend's names mentioned and look them up on the census records (if they are old enough to have been on a published census). Lo and behold, there they are, right next door or down the road a piece as they used to say. These are no longer just names on a census taker's list ... these are real people who visited with your family, named their children for each other, walked to school together, helped each out in times of trouble! What if you can't come up with any good tales? Well, then check out what was going on in the world during the time they lived. Was there an epidemic going through the area that might have taken the lives of someone they knew? Was the area involved in a war? Did the school burn down they would have gone to? By using a good search engine, of which google.com is my favorite, or searching through ancestry.com or the rootsweb sites, check out the information that has been posted on the town or county where your ancestor lived. Forget checking to see if they have marriage records on file or if the historical society is selling a book you want - you can do that later (and I'm sure you've already done it). This time, read the history of the county. Check out what is in that area of importance - did someone important live there during the time frame of your ancestor (maybe they had coffee together!). Was there a big political campaign going on when your ancestor was old enough to vote? Perhaps he was out campaigning for one of the candidates. Was there a revival going on in the church where you think your ancestor attended? Maybe he was in the back pew every night listening. Finding out more about where he lived and what happened when he lived there will give you a whole new view of how it was by someone (you) who wasn't there. (c) Copyright 28 March 2002, Sandra K.

Are you counting down to April 2nd when the 1930 census will be released? I'm sure that most of us are. Why have we had to wait so long? It's the law. Census records are restricted to public viewing for 72 years to protect individual privacy. Upon the release of this census, over 677 rolls of microfilm will be released at National Archives and thirteen regional branches. National Archives has attempted to assist all of us eager beavers with some tips for finding our ancestors by going to http://www.merrimack.nara.gov/genealogy/1930cen.html. Go check it out! Remember, this is one huge census and it won't be quite as easy to locate our families; America has done a lot of growing since the 1920 census! If you're lucky and have an address; we need to determine the enumeration district they were in (abbreviated ED). This will allow you to go to one specific area which is a real help in the larger cities believe me! Here are some helps: Enumeration district maps (8,345 sheets) covering 36 rolls have been reproduces as NARA microfilm publication M1930, Enumeration District Maps for the Fifteenth Census of the United States, 1930. Geographic descriptions of enumeration districts are provided in NARA microfilm publication T1224, Description of Census Enumeration Districts, 1830-1950. Descriptions of enumeration districts for the 1930 census are arranged by state, then by county, on rolls 61 through 90. This is shown on the URL I gave you earlier. Seven rolls of NARA microfilm publication M1931, Index to Selected City Streets and Enumerations District, 1930 Census, contains address indexes to help you convert addresses into EDs for more than 50 larger cities. The list of cities included in this publication can be found at: http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/1930census_city_streets.html Stephen P. Morse, Joel D. Weintraub and David R. Kehs have a web site to help us further. The site is called "Obtaining EDs for the 1930 Census in One Step (Large Cities)". They show a number of major cities that weren't indexed in the M1931 microfilm series above. Check out their site at: http://www.home.pacbell.net/spmorse/census/ The above is all courtesy of ancestry.com (c) 2000, MyFamily.com Only the following counties in Kentucky have been indexed to date: Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Kenton, Muhlenberg, Perry, Pike Now - what's on the 1930 census? address name relationship to head of household home owned or rented value or monthly rental radio set whether on a farm sex; race; age marital status, age at first marriage school attendance; literacy birthplace of person and parents if foreign born, language spoken in home before coming to the U.S. year of immigration whether naturalized, and ability to speak English occupation, industry, and class of worker whether at work previous day (or last regular working day) veteran status for Indian: whether of full or mixed blood, and tribal affiliation Also: AGRICULTURE: Total value of field and orchard crops, vegetables, and farm garden crops value of cereals value of other grains and seeds value of hay and forage value of vegetables value of fruits and nuts value of all other field crops value of garden vegetables value of forest products total no.
