Hello everyone! I am new to the list and have only seen obituaries posted. Are we allowed to post queries as well? If so, I would like to inquire if anyone on the list is related to Samuel STOUT who was born in Aug. of 1898 in Barren Co, KY. He married Dovie MAYO and together they had Wendell, born 17 March 1903 in KY. I am helping a friend with this research. He is looking for stories to pass down to his children. Any help would be very much appreciated. Again, if this is not a list for queries, but for obits only, then please accept my apologies. Thank you, jamie for Windell STOUT
