For what reason did you start genealogy research?
You mean way back in the early 1980s? I had a letter that was written to my grt. aunt, who was into family history. The letter shared about the SMITH family traveling across the country from NY. Then a Morman friend gave me a book called "Meet the Mormans." In it, the trail from NY to IL & MO was traced and info abt. Joseph Smith. WOW, I thought! Were we related to Joseph Smith? That's funny now.
I don't really know. One of my sets of grt-grt grandparents are Robert Terrill Beale and Nancy McKinsey Beale. I know them back to Missouri and Kentucky. Nancy McKinsey's parents were James McKinsey & Lucy Hume. James McKinsey's parents were William McKinsey & Nancy Susan Lampton. Lucy Hume's father was William Hume. I have the McKinseys farther back, but William Hume is the end of the line for my information on Humes. Any of this sound familar?
