My dad died in 1948 when I was only 10 years old. He came from KY to MO in 1917. I didn't know until about 5 years ago that our name spelling got changed in the late 1800's from Hide and Hyde to Hite. So hunting for information was really hard. But I finally was able to get quite a bit of info even though most KY records were burned in the mid 1800's. So.... don't give up! Never give up! Keep asking and searching. There is most likely someone that can tell you stories about your relatives if you keep looking. When there are no relatives there may be old family friends or neighbors. I am happy to say that even though I don't have as much information as I would like, I do have enough to put together our ancestry book so that future generations won't wonder where they came from.
