Trip to Kentucky
I spent ten days in Eastern Kentucky visiting with family and friends. We had great family dinners, long conversations about our heritage and trips to our ancesters homesites. I met cousins that I did not know previously as I have lived in Florida for over 56 years. I moved here in 1956. I also attended two school reunions and two luncheons with my friends. It was a busy ten days. I took lots of photos to help me remember each day for fear that my memory would fail me. The days were so filled with love and kindness. That, I won't forget, but some of the details and new names and faces require memory aids and a little prompting from family and friends.This is a photo of my Great Grandfather William James Cordial and Great Grandmother Elizabeth (Lizzie) ( Thompson) Cordial home site. The house is no longer there. My Grandmother , Virginia Emma (Jennie) (Cordial) Stambaugh, was born on this site at Georges Creek near Paintsville, Ky. Next to the site my cousin Roxan Cordial has her home. Across from the home site is the old barn on the farm. I had never met Roxan.
