Ancestry

[allaboutshooting]

Recently I visited the cemetery where my father, grandfather and other relatives are all buried. Since my father was born in 1896 and my grandfather was born in 1840 it goes back a long way. My great grandfather was born in the late 1700s and settled in what is now Hardin County Kentucky.

There are relatives from several sides of the family buried in the little cemetery on a hill in Hardin County. My grandmother was from Ireland, that's where the Clark comes from and my grandfather's ancestors were originally from Germany, to Kentucky by way of Virginia. I know a little more about our family but probably not as much as I should.

I have a German - Irish background on my dad's side with a Scottish grandmother on my mother's side. It's a real, German, Irish, Scottish stew.

What's your ancestry look like?

Thanks,
Clark

English/Irish by way of North Carolina to Kentucky in the 1700's. We had family that fought at Blue Licks where one of Daniel Boones sons was killed by the British and Indians. I guess we liked Kentucky because we haven't left.

I'm also related to this guy on my dads side.

Mostly Scottish with some German.  Three of my grandparents were born with names Cox, Campbell and Wallace.
Maybe some English but the history got a little fuzzy a couple or three hundred years back and the researcher couldn't be sure.

Hillbilly and Redneck.  My Grandparents names were Caudill, Gibson, White, Green all from Boone county West Virginia.  I'm afraid to look any further back than that.  I think the Caudill clan came from Ireland.
