A Kentucky Family

A web site to help me keep track of family history, brag about some family members and explore some family mysteries.

Family names & my family research priorities.

About James Vernon Cravens, also known as Jack Cravens, of Henderson, Kentucky, my paternal grandfather.

My grandmother talking about her life growing up in Western Kentucky (she was born in 1918): part 1 and part 2.

A mystery I am trying to solve about my Mansfield family of Alabama.

The tragic death of William L. "Billy" Smith, brother of my great-great grandmother and surrogate father to my great-grandfather, W.A. Beasley.

Seeking help to access historical records in Perry County, Alabama, Hale County, Alabama, Polk County, Tennessee and somewhere in Georgia.

The brick walls in my genealogy search.


Ron Cravens and Suzanne "Tootie" Cravens, with his first place-winning
Class XII home built trailer and custom-restored Gold Wing at Wing Ding XVII,
presented by the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRAA), 1995 in Greenville, South Carolina.

I have no idea where the trailer he built ended up. I wish I did.

Years later, did he become the Burkittsville Sheriff?
