Hello to All, I have been researching my family for approx. 7 months so I don't have that much experience. I have a problem and don't know what to do next. I was hoping that someone out there may have some suggestions for me. James Daniel Robinson was my great grandfather. He was born in Union Co. in Nov. 1879. He died in Middelsboro, Bell Co., Ky. in Aug. 1955. He is buried at Middlesboro Cemetery in Bell Co., Ky. I have been looking for the names of his parents. Can't find a thing. I wrote to the state of Kentucky for the death certificate. They sent a response saying that they could find no death record. They also said that it was possible that the funeral home did not file the death certificate with the state of KY. My next step was contacting the state of Tennessee to obatin a birth certificate. I was told that there are no birth records available prior to 1908 and that it was not required to file birth records until that time. I have exactly the same problem with his wife, Emma Annis Taylor, b. June 187l in Union Co., TN, d. June 1956 in Middlesboro, Bell Co., KY, buried at Middlesboro Cemetery. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find the names of the parents for both James Daniel Robinson and his wife Emma Annis Taylor? I would certainly appreciate any help. Kay in GA
