Brenda,
Is the Flora Spradlin you mentioned here, Flora Mae Spraldin b. 10 Sep
1902 d. 17 Apr 1958? D/O James Wesley Spradlin and Mary Elizabeth Vanover?
If so would you have the dates on Flora's husband and did they have any
chilren? It also looks like Flora was married before to a ____ Wilson?
Thanks,
Trinnie Tapley
If you are researching Brodys and can't get back very far, the McCreary Co.
Ct. Order Book 3 p. 623 indicates that on 2 Apr 1935 Anthony J. Bojniewicz
legally changed his name to Anthony J. Brody.
I'm not related, but this is the kind of fact that you like to think someone
would pass along to keep you from looking in Ireland instead of Poland!

Hi McCreary researchers......
I have added a new section to the website and I would like your
contributions for it. I want to do tributes to our McCreary veterans. This
is an idea that was presented to me some weeks ago when Marjorie Rogers
sent me a wonderful write up about her cousin and asked me to put it on the
website. So far hers is the only one I have but I hope that will soon
change. Please take a look and put something together about a veteran or
veterans in your own family.

Hello Tammy (Peanut),
I know that you posted the query some time ago but I thought I would take
the chance anyway. Did you ever get any info on this family? I have some
information that may help you if you still need anything. Do you have much
information on all their children? I am missing some dates if you can be
of any help for me t
Am interested in sharing information with descendents of Daniel Strunk,
1775-1852. He settled in Whitley (now McCreary) County KY about 1815.
Three wives and 20+ children, there are many of his line still in the area.

He collects and restores old photos of the area, sometimes putting up displays
