Carey, Definitely a small world, but then again my mother used to tell me we were related to a good third of Randolph County if we just searched hard enough. Of course many of my generation and my parents' generation moved on for a myriad of reasons just as our ancestors chose to settle in Missouri having been in Kentucky. I had 3 uncles who left Moberly at World War II--one settling in Denver, one in St. Louis (after having been several places in the Midwest), and one in Memphis after 30 years in the Navy. I think the difference with those leaving in the 20th Century and those leaving Kentucky 100 years later was leaving behind family or taking family with was no longer necessary to staying in close contact. I'm always amazed by the posting on this board how many names are familiar to me from having grown up in Randolph County, even though most discussions center around people 2 or more generations removed from myself.
