I am stopping by today and pass along yet another update on a
possible JP 2006 genealogical conference next summer, based in
Paducah. I also have a little information on a few of the Primitive
Baptist Churches in the JP region which I came across and want to pass along.
As of today, at this time, we have 64 folks who have expressed
interest in attending the second such conference in the JP region. We
are edging closer to the minimum 100 mark necessary for us to proceed
with planning. Ja

calculator, looking at the numbers associated with the possibility of
holding a genealogical conference in the JP region in the summer of
this year. The sole purpose of this message is to give you a report

Just a quick note today to say that we have now reached the number 88
in our march to have 100 interested parties for a possible JP

We are drawing closer. I will, of course, keep you posted.

Today, in addition to an update on the possible
2006 JP genealogical conference update, I am
sending along another of the little essays
written by Dr. Gordon Wilson in his little book
entitled, "Fidelity Folks". He was born and grew
up in Fidelity, better known to us as New
Concord, in Calloway County. He was a well known
