census records This is actually more of a test post, but I've been looking at some Harlan County census records lately, just verifying some records on my recent family history on my Father's side. It gets a little complicated when you're from an area where your family name is one of the most common and there are 10 William Creeches in the same census. Then there is the matter of my (and I'm talking about my patrilineage here only) family tree having branches that grow back together. My Father was born of the marriage of two Creeches, who were 3rd cousins. Anyway, I found them - my Grandfather, Delmer Creech's, Father, Joseph A. Creech, and my Grandmother, Viola Creech's, Father, William T. Creech - in the same census with the right wives and children. What was more interesting was the other information that was recorded for them: whether or not they could read and write, owned or rented, and what they did for a living. Moving right along.

Welcome to one of my slight addictions - genealogical research. I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog devoted to this alone. I'll use this as a place to "keep" my records together and share them with my family members who are interested. Volenti Nil Difficile! helpful links Harlan County Research recent posts archives
