I have done my genetics to see what is actually in my DNA now I need to finish it off by getting the paper trail together so it all makes sense. Origionally from Detroit. Glad to be here!

I just started searching my family this year. The passing of my father helped spur me on. My family on my fathers side comes from Breckinridge Co. Ky. Elders, Beavins, Gedlings and Walkers.
My quest is to find a photo of my Grandfather, Paul Eugene Elder Born 1899 in Breckinridge Co. KY and died in 1950 in Cannelton Indiana.

All the best
Kathleen
Permalink Reply by Virginia Barker on October 5, 2011 at 6:37pm I'm Jenny and am currently working on several different families, some on my parents family, my husband family and others for a friend. The names on my mother's maternal side is Webb and Thompson from Lawrence County, Kentucky; the paternal names are Schaffner and Gehring, Schaffner's are from Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany and settled in Jefferson County, Kentucky. I know Gehring is from Germany, but I'm not sure of the town in Germany. The names on my father's side are Baker and Johnston from Northeast Ohio. I think Johnston's were from Pennsylvania. I'm working on my husband's name Barker they migrated from North Carolina to Virginia to Kentucky and some of the early family went to Indiana, My friends family names are Johnson, Hall, Meade, McCray mostly from Letcher and Floyd Counties in Kentucky.
Although, I am currently working on all families listed above, my main focus is trying to find my 4th Great Grandparents on my mother's Schaffner family. I know my 3rd Great Grandparents are Bernhard "Ren" Schaffner born 1834 in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany died 1 Feb 1878 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. His wife Katherine "Kate" Luhr born November 1830 in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany died 1 July 1908 in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. I do have Bernhard's death record along with his wife Kate's, but I haven't done any active searching in Germany or anywhere for Bernhard's parents.
