I have hit a brick wall and need some help in tracking
my family history....
My family mainly lived in Pike Co. Ky., in the area
known today as Shelbiana, Greasy Creek or known as
Alka, Ky. many years ago....
If any of you can help me or send me in the right
direction, I would forever be indebted to you :-))
....
I will list my deadends here:
I need to trace each of these individuals back
farther. I will place a ------ between each deadend..
