Is there anyone in the BCGS specializing in Native American genealogy? I realize many ancestors passed themselves as "white" aa the census records did not allow any entry other than White, Black, or Mulatto in VA, WV, and NC. I have photo proof of Native American ancestors as recent as 2 generations back in my maternal(Green) and paternal side (Jarrell). I appreciate any information about names that appeared on census records from the early 1800's to current indicating enrollment as Native Americans of the Greens/Jarrells of VA, WV, and NC.
Thank You,

Hello!
I am thankful for all of the work the BCGS has done for my family. We all have volumes of info from the Kith 'n Kin books and I only need one piece of information from anyone out there that may have the name(s) of any Greens/Jarrells that are on a Cherokee (or other Native American) census from back east The census, if it exists, possibly originated in NC, Va, or WV. I am a direct descendant of Barnabus Green, on down to Letha Green and also the Jarrells of which Mary Frances Green Jarell (my g-grandmother)looks to be 1/2-full-blood Cherokee.

I am glad you put this online now-it looks great and I didn't know it was here, though I have been a member for a long time. I am finding more and more of my Boone County ancestors going back to Workman, Barker, Dolin, Gunnoe, Fillinger, Mc Kinney, Mc Neely, Clendenin, Snodgrass,Hager, Ballard, Flynn, Harless, Epling, Kessinger, Payne, Walker, Browning, Stuart/Stewart, Mournen/Moran, and it seems just the Boone County surnames will never end. I have criss-crossed some of the names several times, including Clendenin/Clendenen, Harless and Eplin(g), and I wouldn't doubt I will do it again!
Thanks again for all that you do!

I am a writer for the Boone Standard. I recently interviewed some people about a golf course that used to be in Uneeda, called Walhonda Golf Course. It was owned by Yawkey and Freeman and this was in the 1950s. A photograph of this course would really bring my story to life. I have located two, but could only take a picture of the pictures and they are very fuzzy, as a result. Would you know of anyone who might have a photograph of this course that I can scan for the purpsoe of the paper?

I am currently restarting an unfinished job of pieceing together a family history after having to stop when I had barely begun. But my maternal grandmother's father was Wayne Lycans who at one point was married to Cynthia Sutphin. He lived outside Madison so I figured that this was a good place to start looking.

We lived in Vista Valley, in Racine and went to the grade school there also. we played on the banks of the Little Coal River and up the mountain across the highway. We are flatlanders but grew up with a respect and fondness for the area. My first experiences with survival and sharing were there and have stayed with me. We have some pictures I'll find to see if you are interested. Regards Anne Sennette Mabes

This is a great site! I have been using it for a long time now and have quite a few of the books. I was born in Hazy, Boone Co., in 1948. Moved to Edwight and lived there until August 1959 where my dad was a coal miner until the mines shut down. I have been searching for years to try to find my dad's father, Millard Fillmore Green, who was married to Lydia Workman Green. It was his second marriage. First wife's name was Lottie ?. He is in the 1900 census with Lottie and first child, Fannie. He married my Grandmother, Lydia in 1907 but in 1930 census, she is living without him, but it shows her as married and head of her household. She is remarried to someone else in 1933. What happened to Millard??? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Nice site! Just getting into researching my ancestry. See that a lot of work has been done on the Hager side of my family (Grandfather was Roy from Six Mile). Not much information found so far on the Young family. Father was Halley Young, born in Yawkey Lincoln Co but lived most of his life in Boone. His father was Mose Young, married to Priscilla Adams. Beyond that, I think they came from western VA, as did many Boone Co settlers. This is really interesting, sorry I didn't do this years ago.
