I have been researching my family history for 3 decades now. I credit an English college professor for sparking the interest that has become a totally consuming fire that occupies every spare moment I have. It is a good thing I love doing it so much.
My Missouri/Kansas advertorial surnames are as follows:
Paternal side:
Wright
Weston
Adams
Gray
La Follette
Maternal side:
Poland
Compton
Hightower
Miller
Logan
Combs
Hinde
to name a few.
I am interested in connecting with anyone who might have and share information about those surnames. I have many many generations traced back, but I have bits and pieces of missing information that I would love to find. In future posts I will narrow down my searches but I wanted to introduce myself and get my areas of research noted.
Happy hunting, family history style. I look forward to the future posts as this site continues to grow and becomes widely known and used. I am saving a link in my toolbox on Ancestry.com for future reference.
My maiden name was Combs. It was on both sides of my dad's lineage. My father was McKinley Combs, born in Hazard, KY in 1921. His father was McKinley Combs, Sr., and his mother was Merza Combs. Any of these names sound familiar?
